Researchers at Freie Universität in Berlin on Tuesday unveiled a database reconstructing the fate of all the works of art classified by the Nazis as “degenerate” and then confiscated from museums. The documentation of the “Degenerate Art” Research Center at the Art History Institute includes more than 21,000 records on paintings, sculptures, and prints banned in 1937 by the National Socialists as “degenerate” and confiscated. Some 1,400 artists were affected. As of April 21, the results of their research will be accessible online, free of charge.

Leonardo da Vinci
Organization: The British Library
"Everyone has heard of the Mona Lisa, but less well-known than Leonardo's painting are his notebooks. They show that he was a designer and scientist way beyond his time. He drew his visions of the airplane, the helicopter, the parachute, the submarine and the car. It was more than 300 years before many of his ideas were improved upon." (THE BRITISH LIBRARY) Through his notebooks, this site explores the amazing life and work of Leonardo da Vinci.
