November 11, 2022 By admin Leave a Comment

PRESS RELEASE – 11 NOVEMBER 2022

On Friday morning, climate activists attempted to glue themselves to the frame of The Scream(1893) in the Munch room, at the National Museum in Oslo.

The activists were immediately taken care of by the museum guards. The police were informed, and the activists were apprehended.

Edvard Munch’s world-famous painting The Scream was not harmed in the attack. There were about twenty museum guests visiting the Munch room at the time of the incident.

The Munch room was immediately closed off for the public, but reopened shortly after.

The rest of the museum remained open as usual to the public during the incident.

– The National Museum opposes any attempt to harm art in our collection or cultural heritage in general, both physically and symbolically to create attention to a specific cause, says Karin Hindsbo, director of The National Museum.

– A warm and hearty thanks goes out to the museum guards and staff who quickly intervened to stop the attack.
