 The artworks collected for the "Führermuseum" were originally stored in a number of places.The purchases were mostly kept in the air raid shelters of the "Führerbau" in Munich – one of a number of large buildings Hitler had built in the birthplace of the Nazi Party – where they were under the control of the Nazi Party Chancellery; Hitler would often come to visit them and indulge in long discussions on art as one of the first tasks when coming to Munich, even during the war.Confiscated artworks were stored in deposits in the area of Upper Austria, located in the middle of forests or in the mountains.
