DelArt Readers - “Stealing is Easy. Giving it Back is Hard”

Join us! The DelArt Readers, a community-led book club, meets monthly to discuss, debate, celebrate, and share both works of fiction and non-fiction. Our selections are focused on art, artists, and/or the artistic process either in general or in response to the Museum’s collections or exhibits. In addition to our interest in art and artists, we also seek to create a sense of community, conversation, and connection.

Join us at the Museum on July 25th for “Stealing is Easy. Giving it Back is Hard” - a three part Freakonomics podcast series on stolen art repatriation. Interviews include scholars, economists, museum staff, and government officials. We will discuss Episode 541 ("The Case of the $4 Million Gold Coffin"), Episode 542 ("Is a Museum Just a Trophy Case?"), & Episode 543 ("How to Return Stolen Art") originally broadcast in May 2023. You can listen to them on freakonomics.com or via your favorite podcast provider. (Non-fiction)
