Stolen screams

Hi chums

The Norwegian artist Edward munch painted several versions of the scream (1893). One hung in the national gallery in Oslo, Norway. In 1994 it was stolen and held to ransom for $1 million, but was recovered a few months later. Another version was stolen from the munch museum, Oslo, in 2004. The thieves were caught and jailed and the painting, which had been damaged, was recovered. Thank you.
