Tourist's Carelessness Damages Van Gogh Chair Exhibit
Published on 8.1.25
A man caused damage to a Van Gogh chair exhibit at the Maffei Palace in Verona, Italy, by sitting on it without regard for its condition. The incident occurred just weeks after another tourist was caught on CCTV sitting on the same chair, causing it to buckle under their weight. Museum staff reported the man and identified him to the police, who removed the painting from the wall for repair.
