    Edvard Munch's The Scream (Norwegian National Gallery version)
     


    Armed robbers have stolen the iconic Edvard Munch painting, The Scream, from the Munch Museum in Norway.


    Two masked thieves pulled the work and another painting, Madonna, off the wall as stunned visitors watched on Sunday. One robber threatened staff with a gun before the pair escaped in a waiting car.


    The Munch Museum said the two stolen paintings were among its most valuable - worth an estimated $19m together.
