Romania's most valuable treasure stolen during exhibition in the Netherlands

Some of Romania's most prized national treasures were stolen this morning in the Netherlands, causing shock and anger both in Romania and in the international art and cultural community.

These treasures included a precious collection of Dacian gold and silver, created between 2000 BC and 300 BC. Among the most famous objects was the Golden Helmet of Coțofenești, a rare artifact of exceptional historical and cultural value, representing the craftsmanship of ancient artisans and the symbolism of the Dacian era. These objects were sent to the Museum in Assen for a temporary exhibition, which aimed to illuminate the rich heritage of the Romanian people and attract visitors from all over the world.

The exhibition, which featured over 600 precious objects taken from 15 different Romanian museums, represented one of the largest efforts to promote Romanian culture abroad. The objects included artifacts rich in artistic detail, which recount the region's ancient history and its cultural values, media reported. Romanian.


However, last night, a group of thieves managed to break into the museum building, breaking security measures and stealing a large part of the valuable objects.
