Thieves steal €239k Munch picture
13/11/2009 - 10:33:12Thieves in Norway have stolen a rare Edvard Munch picture worth €239,000.
The lithograph - called 'Historian' - was taken from a gallery in Oslo overnight.
Several copies of the work exist, but the stolen one was unique as it was hand-coloured by the Norwegian painter.
In 2004, Munch's 'Scream' and 'Madonna' pieces were stolen, but eventually recovered.
