There's hope for your dream:
quote:
There are four versions of "The Scream." The Munch Museum had two of them, a private collector owns the third, and the fourth is on display at Oslo's National Gallery. "They were all painted by Munch, and they are all just as valuable," Christoffersen told the Associated Press.
... from an associated story.

First, it's Munsch.
? Surely you jest! Actually, it is pronounced MOONK. And people should note that the story comes from "Dagbladet" which is a pretty flashy paper not known for accuracy. I'd say it is more reliable than supermarket magazines about the stars and their battles with cancer and aliens, and less teliable than the Toronto Sun. If I had stolen The Scream, I would claim to have destroyed it. PS. One of the versions of the scream has a note scrawled by Munch in the corner: "Maa ha blitt skritt av en galning" "Must have been painted by a madman."
