The Scream Returned

Art News Blog: The Scream Returned

Two years after the daylight robbery of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream”, the painting has been returned safely. In August 2004 “The Scream” and “Madonna” were stolen by masked gunmen from the Munch Museum in Norway.

Different stories from the media have been linked to at Art News Blog. I am so delighted that it is back. I have been very upset over the whole theft. the idea of art theft just rankles me, and stealing such an icon is an outrage. especially (as believed) as a distraction from another burglary. A deep breath I didn’t realize I was holding has been released.
