what happened to "the scream" ? Is it still missing? Was it ever returned?

Outside of the "tits" reference I'd say you are 101% correct there, Tommy boy.

if you know the right people, a finsky can get you the "private tour" at the old Cleveland Museum o' Art

Eric, if you want some good illicit art, you might contact Phoenix Galleries in New York. Ask for either one of the Aboutaam brothers. Only one has been convicted of smuggling, so you have a 50-50 chance of NOT getting a criminal. Or you might talk to Katharine Lee Reid, director at your nearby Cleveland Museum of Art. She knows the Aboutaam brothers, and recently purchased a 'questionable' item from them. I'll bet somebody in that crew can rustle up a Scream for ya.

oh, I thought you might know someone who knows someone since your Mexican Fiesta is legendary among we Norsemen!

I figured as much, Eric. Unfortunately, I'm in the awkward position of not being in close contact with the thieves. Though I did have this once great night on the town in Mexico thanks to a spectacularly hot Norwegian art dealer. Do you think he's behind it?

Oooo...legal art copies are pretty hard to come by and folks that are good at creating them have more than a few pair of eyes on them!

Eric, Have you checked allposters.com or seen if there are poster vendors on e-Bay? Give those a try.

hi Emily, welcome back! I want "The Scream" for my hallway, but not my bedroom - think I can get it on the cheap? Norgies rule!

Er...yeah, but your post was more about the work of Munch, and I wanted to submit a few details and links about the robbery and include Amazon links to books about museum security. And I didn't use the word "crap" in my post.
