National Gallery (Norway) Tone Skedsmo (1995–2000) and Anniken Thue (2001–2003). That the gallery had erroneously been labeled as technically unfit for paintings was reported in 2013. (A previous study—about the museums—"tåleevne") had never concluded about the fitness level, and Norway's parliament had been misinformed about conclusions that in reality did not exist. ) In 2016 the price for admission doubled overnight. The Gallery includes pieces by sculptor Julius Middelthun, painters Johan Christian Claussen Dahl, Erik Werenskiold and Christian Krohg as well as works by Edvard Munch including "The Scream" and one version of his "Madonna". The museum also has old master European paintings
Edvard Munch but the paintings stolen in the 2004 robbery were extensively damaged. They have been meticulously restored and are on display again. Three Munch works were stolen from the Hotel Refsnes Gods in 2005; they were shortly recovered, although one of the works was damaged during the robbery. In October 2006, the color woodcut "Two people. The lonely" ("To mennesker. De ensomme") set a new record for his prints when it was sold at an auction in Oslo for 8.1 million kroner (US$1.27 million). It also set a record for the highest price paid in auction in Norway.
