Where did the art stolen by Iraq from Kuwait during the Gulf War in 1990-91 go? “Although most of the collection looted from Kuwait’s National Museum has been recovered, almost all the jewellery, Islamic art and other works taken from wealthy Kuwaitis by the Iraqis during the six-month occupation has vanished. Only a few pieces have surfaced on the international art market, and none of it was found in Iraq after the war in 2003.”
