Sunday, 22 August 2004Scream stolen from Norway museum!
Armed robbers have stolen the iconic Edvard Munch painting, The Scream, from the Munch Museum in Norway. Two masked thieves pulled the work and another painting, Madonna, off the wall as stunned visitors watched on Sunday. One robber threatened staff with a gun before the pair escaped in a waiting car, a museum officer told the BBC.

Cat Watching Bird stolen from applegate Art Studio!
Sometime Friday night the painting on wood was taken from its metal stand. The painting had been hanging there, day and night, for almost a year. But alas, finally an art connoisseur, must have spotted this landmark painting and decided they had to have it for their own personal collection. It had been viciously ripped from the two shower curtain hooks it had been hanging on, never having a chance.
The Scream, now Cat Watching Bird. What has it come to?
Is great art no longer safe in our world anymore?
