Van Gogh Museum Fires Four Staff Members Following Alleged Misconduct During Pokémon Exhibition
Several staff members have been dismissed from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam due to misconduct during the Pokémon exhibition. The exhibition, which closed on January 7th, featured six paintings of Pokémon characters inspired by Van Gogh. Allegations include providing insider information on limited tickets, embezzlement of Pokémon cards, and queue disturbances. The popularity of the show led to an overwhelming response, causing the museum to stop distributing special cards. The resale market for these cards on platforms like eBay has surged. The museum has taken strict actions against the staff involved in the misconduct.
