Visitors view the collection of paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, Hungary, Friday, July 30, 2010. Uncounted works of art which are hanging on museum walls in many cities were once the property of Jews, who were coerced into handing them over by the war time Nazi henchmen, or simply abandoned them as they fled for their lives, but modern times have highlighted provenance issues, with destroyed evidence of ownership and disputed restitution policies in many formerly communist eastern European countries. A tug-of-war in the United States over who owns a huge art trove seized by Hungary's Nazi henchmen is perhaps the most prominent example. (AP Photo/Peter Kohalmi)
