The Scream!


One of the four paintings of The Scream by Edvard Munch (painted in 1985) is up for sale. This is the only chance a private person has to own this painting, as the three others are owned by galleries in Norway. The painting is to be sold at Sotheby's, and is expected to fetch at least $80 000 000 which equals 476 000 000 NOK. As I am writing this I have no idea of the outcome, but you probably will know when you read this in the morning!

Do you think Norway should buy this painting or is it fun that people in other parts of the world can enjoy it as well? This is probably one of the most famous paintings in the world! Listen to experts talking about it here!

For the early birds: Good luck on your term test today! Remember to read through your text thoroughly on paper before handing it in, and read the text backwards if you have a tendency to make spelling mistakes.
