The BBC have reported on news that the town hall in Uden, part of the Maashorst municipality in the Netherlands, had accidentally binned an Andy Warhol print of the former Dutch queen worth about €15,000.

According to the report:

A statement by the municipality on Thursday said the artworks were put into storage during work on a town hall in Uden - which is being incorporated into the neighbouring municipality of Landerd to form the Maashorst municipality.

"It's most likely that the artworks were accidentally taken away with the trash," they said.
