From An Art History Book
Contexte :
Une fois ces mesures prises sur le plan administratif, les confis cations de l’Amt Westen arrivent rapidement à cette première étape, d’enregistrement et de contrôle, qu’est devenu un musée de France sur le chemin du Reich – 2 703 tableaux, 2 898 objets meublants, ou décoratifs, sont inventoriés au Jeu de Paume par les experts de l’ERR, sous la rubrique MA-Bc. Tous proviennent d’appartements entièrement déménagés.
Un document allemand permet d’évoquer l’étendue de ce pillage
– 69 619 logements juifs, dont 38 000 à Paris, furent vidés de toute propriété usuelle ou ornementale.
Merci Beaucoup,
Barbara

which became a French museum before the items were dispatched to Germany
This can't be translated literally so I've tried to provide the sense of the words in good English.

that had turned into a French Museum staging post on the Road to the Reich
> namely, the Nazi Western Office as the subject or active agent rather than the object or target of the lootings and, ironically, had 'the makings' of a French national museum on the road eastwards to the Pan-German Reich.
> musée de France: also, another museum in France, a French National Museum or a museum on French soil, rather than a Madrid-type 'Franco Museum'.
> musée de France: also, another museum in France, a French National Museum or a museum on French soil, rather than a Madrid-type 'Franco Museum'.
Example sentence:
Emmanuella's link: Western Office (Amt Westen) of the Rosenberg-headed Ministry for Occupied Eastern Territories (RMbO), allegedly because many of the goods seized were to be destined for German offices on the Eastern Front.

Philippe Etienne
: "un musée de France" is the Jeu de paume (and not the Louvre as I wrote earlier), where artwork belonging to French Jews converged before being sent to Germany. Seeing you're in Austria, watch "The woman in gold" about an iconic Klimt painting

I would propose that the AMT Westen Castle "became a museum of France on the way to the Reich". This would be Germany in the Second World War.
The objects were stocked in the castle there awaiting further transit. As such it would have seemed like a museum.

: The Amt Westen seems to be a Nazi organisation that handled the large-scale looting of valuables in occupied countries in the West

The loot will be transported by trains 'heading for the Reich'.
