Edvard Munch, The Scream, 1883

September 27, 2006

Munch’s The Scream and Madonna go on view in a special five-day exhibition to celebrate their return to the Munch Museum–damages and all–after being stolen by masked gunmen two years earlier.

Before conservation begins, 5,500 people view the damaged paintings.
