THE HAGUE - Masked men held up staff of a Dutch museum Friday and robbed them of two valuable paintings, one by Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dali police said.
Three or four men in masks entered the Scheringa Museum of Realist Art in the northern town of Spanbroek around noon (1000 GMT) and threatened staff with a gun, said police spokesman Menno Hartenberg.
The men made off with a 1941 Dali entitled "Adolescence" and a work by Polish artist Tamara de Lempicka called "La Musicienne" from 1929. The museum would not reveal their worth.
