Art Historian Left His Rembrandts To Museum. His Heirs Want Them Back. The Law May Be On Their Side.

Abraham Bredius was director of the Mauritshuis in The Hague 1889-1919, and he bequeathed 25 Rembrandts and other Old Master paintings to the museum on condition that they be displayed. Only five are on public view, so Bredius’s heirs say the Mauritshuis is violating the bequest’s terms. – The New York Times
