Reward for Munch masterpiece recovery

The City of Oslo on Wednesday offered a NOK 2 million (USD 310,000) reward
for assistance leading to the recovery of the stolen masterpieces "The
Scream" and "Madonna" painted by Edvard Munch.
The reward will be paid after the paintings have been recovered and verified
as genuine.

The news came from a press release by Oslo police, who took part in the
decision to offer a reward.

The paintings were stolen in an armed robbery on August 22, 2004, in a
shocking raid that forced Norwegian museums and authorities to reconsider
security levels and precautions.
