A Van Gogh painting worth $50 million has been stolen from a museum in Cairo, Egypt's minister of culture has said. The painting, known both as both Poppy Flowers and Vase And Flowers, was "cut from its frame" on Saturday, Farouk Hosni told the AFP agency.
Police are studying security camera footage and questioning employees at the Mahmoud Khalil museum, he added. The same painting was previously taken from the same museum in 1977, but recovered a decade later.
