Two Pablo Picasso paintings worth millions have been stolen in Switzerland.
The paintings were stolen on Wednesday evening after closing time at the Seedamm-Kulturzentrum in the small town of Pfaeffikon, near Zurich.
It was unclear how the burglars entered the cultural centre, but they set off a security alarm when leaving. Police are investigating whether the burglars locked themselves in the building before it closed.
The two oil paintings, Tete de cheval (Head of horse)of 1962 and Verre et pichet (Glass and pitcher)of 1944, were on loan from the Sprengel Museum in Hannover, Germany.
