A publicist for an upcoming Marilyn Monroe exhibition in Prague says that photographs of the star have been stolen.

Titzova says mannequins and display cases which were part of the exhibition also disappeared. There was no word Wednesday whether the exhibition will be delayed or canceled.

The collection of various items including Monroe's dresses, shoes, photographs and diaries was assembled by curators at the Salvatore Ferragamo museum in Florence, Italy last year to mark the 50th anniversary ofMonroe's death.

After Prague, the exhibition was to be moved to Tokyo.
