"I am shocked and unbelievably pissed off," museum director Jan Rudolph de Lorm said during a press conference Monday afternoon.Van Gogh's 'suicide gun' sells for $180,000 "But above all it is horrible for all of us, because art is there to be seen and shared by all of us, for society as a whole, to bring enjoyment, to bring inspiration, and also to bring comfort. Especially in this difficult time," he added.
Some 93 people have died of coronavirus in the Netherlands in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of deaths to 864, according to the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment.
