    People generally go to museums to satisfy their curiosity needs or increase their knowledge on a certain topic. A similar principle can be applied with the Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the US (Source F). The commission claims that its goal is relocating pieces of art that went missing during the time of the Nazi Regime. However, it just so happens to be that these missing pieces are the works of art that are most in demand. Art pieces that have been missing then suddenly appear gain the more publicity than some other piece that has been in the museum.
