Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza - Assets Dispute

Assets Dispute

However, a settlement was reached between the parties before the baron's death, which brought to a "peaceable" conclusion the wrangling over control of the vast Thyssen art collection, which is to remain in Spain, Hans Henrik having been the founder of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid.
