Edvard Munch: The Scream – through 4/29/2013

“Edvard Munch’s iconic The Scream (1895), among the most celebrated and recognized images in art history, will be on view for a period of six months.  Of the four versions of The Scream made by Munch between 1893 and 1910, this pastel-on-board from 1895 is the only one remaining in private hands; the three other versions are in the collections of museums in Norway. … 

The Scream will be installed in the Museum’s Painting and Sculpture Galleries, along with a selection of prints by Munch drawn from the Museum's extensive collection of his work.”
