We popped into the National Museum today for a couple of hours. The modern design exhibit was overwhelming. Furniture, appliances, cutlery, you name it, they had the Scandinavian prototype in mint condition. After that it was hard to absorb Chinese porcelain throughout the ages, or decorative German tankards. But there was a large, somberly lighted room of Munch paintings and the colorful third version of “The Scream” I hadn’t yet seen. I darted and spun and with a finishing glissando, slid right in front of the masterpiece just as a visitor pulled away.
This version was stolen in 1994. The version in the Munch museum was stolen in 2004.
No wonder security is tight at both museums.
