RIO DE JANEIRO, Mar 7, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Rio de Janeiro's Chacara do Ceu Museum has been hit by thieves a second time in 10 days.
Two armed robbers disarmed the museum's security guards Monday and made off with 11 priceless gold and silver relics from the 19th century, the BBC reported.
Paintings by Picasso, Dali, Matisse and Monet were taken Feb. 24 during a daylight robbery at the museum.
The museum does not have an alarm system or security cameras.
