Looted art refers to artworks and cultural artifacts that have been taken unlawfully, often during times of conflict or colonial expansion. This practice has led to the displacement of significant pieces from their original locations, affecting cultural heritage and identity. Many items were seized from museums, galleries, and private collections, often without the consent of the rightful owners. The issue of looted art has gained attention in recent years, with calls for restitution and repatriation. Institutions like the British Museum and Metropolitan Museum of Art have faced scrutiny over their collections, as many pieces were acquired under questionable circumstances. Efforts are ongoing to address these historical injustices.
