The purpose of this study is to research which tendencies art history and museums in the Nazi period were unfolded in and which policies they promoted.

Nazi ideology results in racism to advocate Aryan superiority through suggesting anti-Semitism and anti-Bolshevism. Like reflecting this fact, art history in the Nazi period represented as the key words of 'nation' and 'race' was developed in the tendency to harmonize with Nazi ideology from a viewpoints of nationalism out of the objectivity of pure study, and, mainly, concentrated on German art from the Middle Ages to the Baroque period. Therefore, A great number of scholars in art history had to leave Germany, and, as a result, the center of art history to have originated from the German area was extended to Courtauld Institute in London and American famous universities as the English area.

The art in the early 20th century to position currently itself as the classic of modern art was regarded as decadent art by the Nazis, and relevant works in all museums and galleries were confiscated. Especially, the works of Die Bruecke were severely suppressed through 'decadent art' exhibition, but, on the contrary, German expressionism happened to well known to the international world of artists on this opportunity in the late 1930's. In addition, the New York painting circles positively accepted the modern art the Nazis suppressed, so to get the chance to lead postwar modernism. Even though the nazis established museums and art galleries with the justification of popular educational movements on purpose to enlighten the mass of people, they actually intended to propagate Nazi ideology as 'Great exhibition of German art' and 'decadent art' exhibition.

Nazi Germany, that started a war, tried to possess the whole great works of the occupying nation, and, especially, Hitler promoted to establish Linz museum on a international scale. But, despite of Hitler's ambitious plan, leaning to German art, the large limits of Linz museum are found in the collection lists to have denied the experimental art of contemporary.

After Nazi defeat, the universities and the museums in Germany had to make all efforts to recover self-regulation, and all the museums and art galleries in Europe, to return to the condition prior to a war. The Nazi period in which the ideology ruled everything left an instruction that only freedom is an absolute condition of all scholarship and arts in the end.
