Edvard Munch's The Scream, stolen by armed robbers in 2004 is back on display. Recovered in 2006, the painting underwent restoration by experts due to damage. It was pulled from it's frame and has a stain from a damp spot in the bottom left corner. The robbers also stole Munch's Madonna it is back on display too. The paintings were stolen by two armed men who threatened staff members and then ripped the paintings of the wall. They believe they ripped them out of the frames because they feared tracking devices.
Apparently the painting is now believed to had been painted in 1910- not 1893 like thought previously.
I have always been a fan of this painting, but who isn't? Do you remember when it was on The Simpsons?
WHAT DO EWE THINK?
