A tourist has been caught on CCTV sitting on a crystal-studded 'Van Gogh' chair exhibit in an Italian art gallery - before it buckles under him.
The chair, which is named after the famous Dutch painter, is housed in the Maffei Palace, Verona, and is covered with hundreds of Swarovski crystals.
It was designed by Italian artist Nicola Bolla and is described by local media as being 'extremely fragile and delicate'.
However, it appears that while admiring the art, a tourist spotted their opportunity for a photo with no security around - without regard for the chair's condition.
In the shocking footage, a man and woman can be seen posing with the eye-catching chair in the otherwise empty room.
