GENEVA — A Swiss museum said on Friday it would give up almost 40 works of art after a years-long investigation concluded they were either stolen by the Nazis or were of doubtful origin.
But the Museum of Fine Arts Bern said almost 1,100 other works from the same trove would be retained despite their provenance remaining unproven.
