Failed attack on masterpiece

TWO people have tried – and failed – to glue themselves to Edvard Munch’s 1893 masterpiece The Scream at an Oslo museum, Norwegian police said.

No harm was reported to the painting of a waif-like figure appearing to scream.

Police said officers were called to the National Museum of Norway yesterday (Friday) and had three people under ‘control’. A third person filmed the pair trying to affix to the painting, Norwegian news agency NTB said.
