Quote: "All those who were in the museum are safe, as they went down to the shelter. Thank you for your responsibility. The façade has been damaged and almost all the windows and the entrance doors have been shattered. An early visual inspection indicates that the collection has not been harmed. A thorough assessment of the damage will be carried out in the coming days."
