I know that the Berlin Museum still has the bust of Nefertiti, but I'm not 100% sure then they ''acquired'' the bust.

It was discovered by a German in 1912 and they had an agreement that they could keep some of the artifacts they found if they divided them with Egypt. So it was acquired legally although Egypt has since claimed that the German archaeologist hid it from them and blames the inspector they hired for not taking it.
