Settling the Hohenzollern Art Treasure Debate: A New Era of Cooperation
Museum reaches accord with Hohenzollerns on terms of collaboration - Museum deliberates on contract with the House of Hohenzollern
Here's the skinny on the latest development concerning the Hohenzollern family's prized art collection. After weeks of negotiation, the German Historical Museum's Board of Trustees is all set to weigh in on the deal, scheduled for this very Friday. If they give it the green light, the agreement between the public sector and the Hohenzollerns' lineage could be a done deal.

The majority of these treasures will be shifted to a new non-profit foundation, continuing to dazzle visitors in museums across Berlin and Brandenburg.
Some of the most jaw-dropping pieces will be earmarked for the public sector. As a quid pro quo, the Hohenzollerns will receive around 3,000 pieces from the public domain, granting them free reign over these treasures in the future.
