OSLO : "The Scream", arguably the most iconic image in art, is the centrepiece of a new museum dedicated to its creator Edvard Munch that opens in Oslo on Friday, but visitors won't know which of its many versions they will see until they arrive.
Between 1893 and 1910, Munch painted"The Scream" many times using different techniques. The waterfront museum will have access to three of those canvases but show only one at a time as they are very fragile, said its director, Stein Olav Henrichsen. While Munch's other best known motifs, including"Puberty" and"Madonna", also date back to the 1890s, he worked out of his home in the outskirts of Oslo from 1916 and ended up storing two-thirds of his produced artwork there.
