Why Collect Art?
As we have learned, art is valuable for many reasons. People have collected art throughout history, for both its value as an investment and for personal enjoyment. As armies returned from conquered lands, art was often the booty that they brought back with them. A notable example was the art that the Nazi army pilfered and hid throughout WWII, serving as the basis for the movie, "The Monuments Men". For fun, let's watch a few minutes of this documentary that details the story that inspired this movie.
