On December 18, George Clooney will release the historical drama film Monument Men. Based on the book The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History, the film tells the true story of how Allied soldiers—including former Toledo Museum of Art director Otto Wittmann—saved priceless art from destruction during WWII. Author Robert Edsel, who penned Monuments Men, will lecture at TMA about his book, and the rescue of precious art during wartime.
