OSLO, Norway - Edvard Munch's famous paintings "The Scream," "Madonna" and others were stolen from an art museum Sunday while stunned museum-goers watched armed men threatening the staff at gunpoint as they took the art work to a waiting car.

"We don't have all the details on the situation, but we are searching for the suspects in the air and on land," Police Spokesman Kjell Moerk told the public radio network NRK.

Dude! i know! No alarms or anything?

i got to see 'Scream' once when a Munch exhibit came to the museum right by the Cal campus. i am trying to recall if i saw 'Madonna' then, too. i bet i did, it was a very thorough exhibition.

This makes me sad.
