JERUSALEM—The Israel Museum is planning to exhibit more than 50 paintings and drawings stolen from France by the Germans during World War II in an effort to trace the works' owners, the Jerusalem Post reports.

The exhibition, "Looking for Owners: Custody, Research, and Restitution of Art Stolen in France during World War II," organized by the French Foreign Affairs and Culture and Communications Ministries, will feature works by Delacroix, Ingres, Monet, and Seurat that could not be restituted after the war due to a lack of clear ownership history and were subsequently handed over to French national museums. The exhibition runs from February 19 through June 3.

The Museums Department of the French Culture and Communication Ministry published a list of the unclaimed works on its Web site in November 1996, and a catalog of the paintings was published in France in 2004.
