The Metropolitan Museum of Art Is Losing Artifacts: U.S. Prosecutors Seize $95 Million in Artifacts

One of the world’s most prestigious museums has found itself at the center of a large-scale investigation into the illicit trafficking of cultural property. In June, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office seized dozens of ancient artifacts from the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection, which were allegedly smuggled out of their countries of origin. Since 2017, the museum has already lost more than 120 exhibits with a total value of over $95 million—and that list continues to grow.
