The network

A lot of museums in the United States are undergoing an ethical crisis regarding trafficking in stolen antiquities. The reputation of museums such as the Metropolitan and the Getty, amongst others, is being called into question within the international art market. Marion Trae, who was a curator responsible for antiquities, was accused of criminal conspiracy in a trial that took place in Rome. “The Network” is a documentary that predicts this crisis, focussing on a group of people connected with each other in the smuggling of mainly Greek and Italian antiquities.
