PARA aims to bring clarity to the histories of cultural objects by combining rigorous research with independent legal and strategic advisory. Through investigating and mapping ownership histories, PARA supports responsible collecting, informed decision-making and transparent stewardship of art and cultural heritage.

The PARA team, based in Amsterdam and Frankfurt, brings together diverse institutional experience in the field of looted art, including work with restitution committees, provenance databases, auction houses and museums. This combined expertise provides access to an extensive international network and enables us to offer carefully tailored advice.
