The reclusive German son of a Nazi-era art dealer who hoarded hundreds of priceless paintings for decades, some of them plundered from Jews, has left the collection to a Swiss museum. "The Bern Art Museum has been informed through telephone and written messages from lawyer Christoph Edel... that (his client) Cornelius Gurlitt named the Bern Art Museum foundation as his only legatee," the museum said in a statement a day after the death of Gurllit.
