It was supposed to be an 11 minute walk to the museum so I thought if we hurried, we could make it. Unfortunately, we got turned around getting to the museum and by the time we arrived, it was 5 minutes to closing. I talked my way into the museum and was escorted to the 2nd floor but was turned back just 1 room away from the painting. I was so close but didn't get to see it.
"The Scream" at the National Gallery is only 1 of 4 versions. There are 2 pastels (1893 & 1895) and 2 paintings (1893 and 1910). The one at the National Gallery is a painting from 1893. The other painting is at the Munch Museum. Both paintings were stolen at one point but eventually returned.
