This photo provided by The Monuments Men Foundation for the Preservation of Art of Dallas, shows Monuments Man George Stout, second from right, with others as they remove Michelangelo’s Bruges Madonna from the salt mine in Altaussee, Austria, July 10, 1945. Priceless works of art from the salt mine posed problems for Stout unlike any ever contemplated. Stout constructed a pulley to lift Bruges Madonna onto the salt cart to begin its long trip home to Belgium. From a fairy tale-inspiring castle in the Bavarian Alps to a serene sculpture of Mary and Jesus by Michelangelo tucked away in a church in Belgium, sites and works of art across Europe can give travelers a glimpse at the heroic work done by those who worked to save cultural treasures during World War II.
