In July 2020, a unique wooden sculpture “Christ resurrected“ of the late Gothic period (16th century) from the collection of the priest Ričardas Mikutavičius, which in 2001 was illicitly removed from Lithuania and later returned to Lithuania, was presented in the Ministry of Culture. The sculpture has been recognised a movable cultural property, and in 2009 it was listed on the Register of Cultural Property. The specialists of the Department of Cultural Heritage (the DCH) have been trying for nearly 20 years to trace where the sculpture was taken to from Lithuania, they have been observing art auctions, and later, when it became evident that it had been acquired by an Austrian national, they cooperated for a long time with the Austrian law enforcement authorities in an attempt to recover the work of art.
