| Munch Museum in Oslo To Undergo Drastic Changes |
|
|
Evdard Munch, The Scream.
|
OSLO, NORWAY.- The Munch Museum in Oslo could be closed until next June to set up drastic security measures after the theft of The Scream, its most famous painting. The work, together with Madonna are still missing. A new report recommends up to 5m kroner ($790,000) be spent on changes, including a labyrinth, an outside guard post and glass frames bolted to the walls.
Anette Wiig Bryn, Oslo city councillor for culture, stated of the report, "It was not pleasant reading."
Security project manager Mona Solem said, "National and international art icons must be shielded using glass bolted onto the wall. The remaining pictures must be fastened onto the wall or made so heavy that they are difficult to run away with."
The report suggests metal detectors, a surveillance control room, a labyrinth to delay possible robbers and an automatic gate to lock them in.
