1994: Art thieves snatch The Scream

One of the world's best-known paintings was stolen from a gallery in the Norwegian capital, Oslo, in February 1994.

Two men took just 50 seconds to climb a ladder, smash through a window of the National Art Museum in Oslo and cut The Scream, by Edvard Munch, from the wall with wire cutters.

The cutters were left behind along with a short ladder as the men fled with the painting. The entire incident was filmed by security cameras.
