    Well... I was just looking through some old files on my PC, and I found this. Yes, that's the actual painting itself and that photo was taken by me, in person, mere days before the painting was stolen from the museum while I was on holiday in Norway last year.

    Amazing.

    Just to distance myself from the concept that people are dumb in this thread, I was right, there are in fact four versions of Munch's (pronounced Monk by the way) "The Scream.
