Chapman Law Review Looted Art Display

Authors

Abstract

"The 2025 Chapman Law Review symposium, “Raiders of the Lost Art: Legal Challenges and Recoveries,” brought together experts from around the country to discuss art law, looted art, and the prosecution of bad actors as a domestic and international concern.

The Hugh and Hazel Darling Law Library and Chapman Law Review put together a display to supplement the symposium. The display exhibited contributions from symposium panelists, focusing on works that showcased their areas of expertise. Topic areas included looted art restitution, the destruction of cultural heritage in Ukraine, museums as bad actors, and laws and cases that concern restitution and repatriation of stolen art. The aim of the display was to further highlight the topic of looted art, the global impact of art theft, and the consequences that the destruction of cultural heritage has had throughout history and around the globe."
