A spokesperson from the Tel Aviv Museum of Art did not provide a specific time frame for the tapestries’ return, but says the institution is finalizing the details of the arrangement now.
“Restitution is an ethical and professional obligation,” Tania Coen-Uzielli, director of the museum, said in a statement to Artnet News. “In recent years, the study of the provenance of works of art has become a major concern of museums around the world. Museums allocate major resources to provenance research, which is significant for providing historical justice.”

As Israel commemorates Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art is about to complete the restitution of two 17th century Flemish tapestries looted by the Nazis during World War II.
The tapestries, along with a 19th-century oil painting already restituted, are the first instances of Holocaust-looted art found at the Tel Aviv museum. All three artworks belong to the Mosse family of Berlin, which had been the holder of a significant art collection.
