Armed robbers have stolen the iconic Edvard Munch painting, The Scream, from the Munch Museum in Norway.

The masked thieves pulled the work and another painting, Madonna, off the wall as stunned visitors watched.

One robber threatened museum staff with a gun before the gang escaped in a waiting car, museum staff told the BBC.

Trafficbrokercom · 08-22-2004, 05:45 AM

this painting seems to be very popular ..

I think it's the second or third time that I hear of a robbery of "The Scream" during the last years ..

There are several versions. Aother one got stolen a few years ago.

I'm pissed off they took the Madonna though... that's one of my favorites

That was another version, I believe.

"It was secured to the wall by wire, all the thieves had to do was pull on it --- which he saw one of them doing."

For the millions this painting is supposed to be worth, you'd think they could atleast .... secure it. Stealing a statue of Ronald McDonald from McDonalds would be harder to do in any bad neighborhood in the US....

cherrylula · 08-22-2004, 09:58 AM

damn thats badass, hope it looks good where they hang it

Yeah it doesn't sound like they were taking the security very seriously.
