Police have said most of the jewels stolen from the museum, which houses one of Europe’s greatest art collections, have been recovered. Sean Gallup/Getty Images“There are certain things that perhaps absolute experts can see; we with the naked eye can actually barely see the damage,” said Marion Ackermann, Dresden State Museums director general. Dresden Castle houses the Gruenes Gewoelbe (Green Vault) collection of treasures. The treasures survived Allied bombing raids in World War II, only to be carted off as war booty by the Soviet Union. They were returned to Dresden, the historic capital of the state of Saxony, in 1958.

BERLIN, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Most of the jewels stolen from a historic Dresden art collection in 2019 in a $120 million heist have been recovered, German police and prosecutors said on Saturday. The 31 pieces, including a breast star of the Polish Order of the White Eagle and an ornate diamond head-dress, had been secured by investigators in Berlin, authorities said. In all, the pieces stolen from one of Europe's greatest art collections contained more than 4,300 diamonds with an estimated value of more than 113 million euros ($120 million). The returned pieces will be examined by specialists "to confirm their authenticity and intactness," authorities said. Pieces still missing include an epaulette on which a precious stone known as the Dresden White Diamond was mounted.
