Otto Wittmann was the associate director and then director of the Toledo Museum of Art (1946-1977). Under his directorship, the museum became a world-class institution. During World War II, Otto Wittman served as a special intelligence officer for the Art Looting Investigation Unit where he was responsible for the discovery and restitution of artworks looted in Europe during the war. After his retirement from the Toledo Art Museum, Wittmann went on to serve as a board member of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and became chief curator at the J. Paul Getty Museum. He was a founding member of the National Council on the Arts, as well as an advisor to the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
