Watch: Tourist Shatters Swarovski-Covered ‘Van Gogh’ Chair at Italian Museum, Then Flees
June 16, 2025
12:12
A priceless art installation modeled after Vincent van Gogh’s famous painting has been damaged at an Italian museum by a tourist who ignored museum guidelines and sat directly on the fragile piece. The “Van Gogh” chair, encrusted with thousands of Swarovski crystals, shattered under the man’s weight, and moments later, he and his companion fled the scene.
The shocking moment unfolded at Palazzo Maffei, a private museum in Verona, and was recorded by security cameras. The footage shows the man lowering himself onto the artwork rather than mimicking a sit as instructed. As he places his full weight on the chair, it collapses beneath him. His female companion quickly rushes to his aid, and the two leave the area immediately.
The museum believes the couple waited deliberately for security to clear the vicinity before attempting the stunt.

In a strongly worded Facebook post, the museum denounced the act as “a superficial and disrespectful behaviour” that endangered the integrity of the artwork. “What you have just seen is not a joke, but an episode that really happened in the rooms of Palazzo Maffei,” the museum wrote.
The museum emphasized that their response wasn’t just about documenting the event. “We do not want to limit ourselves to a simple report of what happened,” they noted. “Instead, we want to use this moment as an opportunity to reflect and raise awareness among the public.”
They added, “Art must be admired, experienced, but above all respected.”

The shattered artwork, titled Van Gogh, was crafted by artist Nicola Bolla. It draws inspiration from one of Van Gogh’s most iconic paintings and mimics the rustic wooden chair famously featured in the artist’s self-representations. What makes Bolla’s version extraordinary is the delicate surface, embedded entirely with Swarovski crystals, giving the humble object an ethereal, shimmering presence.
Following the incident, the museum confirmed that the artwork has been restored. “A heartfelt thanks goes to the police, our security department and the restorers, whose precious work allowed the work to be recovered,” the museum stated. As of now, it remains unclear whether the individuals responsible for the damage have been identified or if any legal action will follow.

The incident has provoked intense reactions online. Many condemned the couple’s behavior. One user wrote, “How vulgar!!! They must be identified and punished for the damage done.” Another added, “I hope they pay for the damage, and if it is priceless, at least they should give him a nice fine.”
However, not all criticism was directed at the visitors. Some questioned the museum’s security measures. “Why is the chair placed where people can use it? Sounds like a skill issue from your side too,” one comment read. Another user remarked, “The fault lies with the management for not putting controllers inside the halls!!”
While the museum succeeded in restoring the artwork, the episode has ignited a broader discussion on the responsibilities of both institutions and visitors in preserving cultural heritage.
