A version of The Scream was stolen from the Munch Museum in Oslo in 2004, ten years after a different version was taken from the National Gallery. During the 2004 heist, thieves brandishing guns removed both The Scream and another Edvard Munch work, Madonna, from the museum. The paintings were subsequently recovered in August 2006.12
