Art lovers rejoice! "The Scream" recovered

Yay! Police have recovered "The Scream" and "Madonna," both masterpieces by Edvard Munch that were stolen two years ago from an Oslo museum.

Aside from being treasures that belong to all people, I believe that stolen art should be restored to its original home, especially if that home is in an awesome exotic location like Oslo that I'd like to go visit someday. Because sometimes it IS all about me.

I saw these paintings in the museum back in about 1973. I can see how easily they could be stolen. I walked up to within a foot of The Scream. I could have touched it and no one seemed to want to stop me. Oslo is a really great city. The Vigelund outdoor sculptures in Frogner Park are amazing. There are hundreds of pieces all by the same artist. They are all sort of hefty and muscular men, women and children.
