Scream Robbery is Fair Game for Munch Museum

The Munch Museum in Oslo is selling a board game about the armed theft of the Scream, the expressionist masterpiece taken from the gallery more than a year ago.

Players of The Mystery of the Scream, a game aimed at the family market, must hunt down the robber before he reaches a criminal paradise. "It is pure fiction, so it is fun," the museum's head of marketing, Jorunn Christoffersen, told Norwegian radio NRK. But local art gallery owner Harald Enerud said: "I don't think one should make fun of something this serious."

The whereabouts of the painting is still unknown.
