misscamThey've found "The Scream" and "Madonna"!
(If you haven't seen them, they look like this and this and were painted by Edvard Munch. They are considered masterpieces.)
They were stolen from the Munch museum two years ago. Apparently, they don't seem to have suffered any serious damage, so huzzah! Thieving paws *off* our national treasures, thank you very much.
Right on.

Date: 2006-08-31 04:48 pm (UTC)I have to admit The Scream is my least favourite artwork: it creeps me out in a major way, but I can appreciate the artistry - and anyhow, thieving is always *wrong*

Date: 2006-08-31 07:41 pm (UTC)You have to wonder what people are thinking, to steal something so famous as that. Were they just trying to get away with it? Did they have a buyer?
The world may never know.
