“The Monuments Men were not all men,” said Anna Bottinelli, president of the Monuments Men and Women Foundation.
The Army recently revived the concept, with the first new class of monuments officers graduating in 2022.
The Monuments Men and Women Gallery includes a recreation of a salt mine where monuments officers found stolen art.
Valland, who inspired the role played by Cate Blanchett in the “The Monuments Men” movie, died at 81 in 1980.
The Army’s first class of the new monuments officers, called heritage and preservation officers, graduated in the summer of 2022.
