Stolen “Scream” Wasn’t Insured

Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” was not insured, says the Munch Museum, after the painting was stolen over the weekend. “The theft has highlighted gaps in the insurance of major works around the world, with a large number not covered against being stolen, according to some of the UK’s leading art insurers. Many galleries and collectors cannot afford to pay for protection or do not think they will need it.”
