Munch's famous painting "The Scream" stolen from Norway museum -again
It was the second time in 10 years that "The Scream" has been stolen.
Maybe it's time to update security at the museum, eh? Not quite sure why certain unscrupulous art collectors would buy the stolen painting or just flat out hire someone to steal it. Especially since it'd be both cheaper and legal to own a replica. No need to showcase the "real deal" off to friends at the next "tea and crumpets" gathering. What's going to happen to the painting now? Will it be held captive for ransom? Or better yet, sold back to another museum? Good luck with that.
*Thought: A museum curator has a primary function of being a good communicator in order to involve, inspire and educate the public about art collections. Now couldn't the curator at the Oslo Munch educate himself about securing the more priceless pieces of art on the walls without the use of "wire and cords"? Might as well given the painting to the thieves at the door as a prize for being the 355,046th person to come in to the museum. *Throws confetti, toots whistle*
*Thanks to SparkStalker from AS for his version of "The Scream".
