In August 2004 , the museum learned that an oil painting that had been stolen during The Holocaust had found its way into the museum 's collection by donation in 1993 . The museum returned the art to the heirs of its original owner . The piece was the 18th-century '' Les Amoureaux Jeunes '' by François Boucher . It had been stolen by Nazi Hermann Göring from the collection of French Jewish art gallery owner Andre Jean Seligmann in 1946 during the Nazi occupation of France . Suzanne Seligmann Robbins , Andre Seligmann 's daughter-in-law , said : " Honor this museum and the people in it and the University of Utah for what they have done with such honor , with such diligence , with such integrity . " The Utah Museum of Fine Arts offers family , adult and children 's programs along with tours for visitors . Activities include self-guided visits of the galleries , hands-on art projects , films , lectures , and informative guided tours .
