Munch To Reopen, Minus Its Star Attraction

“The Munch Museum is set to reopen, 10 months after Edvard Munch’s iconic painting The Scream was stolen. The Oslo museum closed in August 2004 after masked thieves pulled the work and another painting, Madonna, off the wall in front of visitors. Police are yet to recover the paintings, despite a reward of two million kroner [$308,210] on offer. A pastel version of The Scream and a lithography of Madonna will be put on display at the museum instead.”
