Conservators remove fungus and cobwebs from Gurlitt hoard

Conservators at the Kunstmuseum Bern are busy mending tears and warps, and removing cobwebs, dust and corrosion from works of art which the museum inherited from Cornelius Gurlitt. Last week, the museum opened a special workshop to treat the collection before it goes on show in Taking Stock of Gurlitt: Degenerate ArtSeized and Sold, which opens in November. The public can take organised tours of the studio ahead of the exhibition.The Kunstmuseum Bern has so far received 220 works from the hoard
