Police say robbers have stolen paintings by Cezanne, Degas, Van Gogh and Monet - worth more than $91 million from a museum in the city of Zurich, Switzerland.
Police have not revealed the name of the museum.
The thefts happened just two days after two Picasso paintings, worth $4.5 million, were stolen from a Swiss art gallery. Those paintings were on loan from the Sprengel Museum in Germany.
