Close Encounters: Edvard Munch's "The Scream"
Get to know one of the world's most famous works of art; Edvard Munch's iconic The Scream from 1893. Why does the anxious scream continue to fascinate? What is the state of the fragile artwork? What and who does it really represent?
In this live broadcast from the National Gallery's conservation studio, you will meet Thierry Ford, paintings conservator at the National Museum, Mai Britt Guleng, curator at the National Museum and Munch specialist and, not least, The Scream itself.
