Moderna museet, the Museum of Modern Art, is a state museum, that was first opened in 1958. Its first manager was Pontus Hultén. It houses Swedish and international modern and contemporary art, including pieces by Picasso and Salvador Dalí and a model of the Tatlin Tower. The museum's restaurant is also famous on its own and popular due to its beautiful location. In 1993, six works by Picasso and two by Georges Braque totalling more than £40m were stolen from the museum in a renowned coup where the burglars came in through the roof by night, copying the method from the 1955 French movie Rififi (French: Du rififi chez les hommes). Only three of the Picasso paintings have been recovered.
