Someone stole The Scream.
Scream 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.
One robber threatened staff with a gun before the pair escaped in a waiting car, a museum officer told the BBC.
The Munch Museum says the two stolen paintings were among its most valuable - worth an estimated $19m together, according to the BBC's Lars Bevanger. [BBC News]
Eek! I always hate it when art is stolen - gack....mostly because I'm afraid of what might happen to it. It's the old Indiana Jones instinct kicking in (It belongs in a museum!)
