Mystery of the Scream
You remember that version of The Scream that was stolen from the Munch Museum last year, right? Well, it's still AWOL, but at least now you can play a board game version inspired by the theft. Would you rather be a careful detective or a tricksy art thief. The game, "The Mystery of the Scream," is available in the museum gift shop (although not, evidently, online). Not everyone's amused; as one gallery owner told the BBC, "In principle I find it a bit in bad taste to make a game out of the theft of The Scream. My initial reaction is to disapprove of an initiative that helps trivialize a national and international drama while the painting is still missing."
