But did you know that there's a reward from M&Ms to recover it?

It's an amusing promotion. But I don't like art and corporate advertising mixed like that.

the good thing is as you look at the art, the chocolate doesn't melt on your hands...

I hear Target is using the Mona Lisa to promote their Fall lineup.

Wow, that M&M reward really motivated someone!

OSLO (Reuters) - "The Scream" and another stolen masterpiece by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch were recovered by police on Thursday, two years and nine days after gunmen seized the paintings from an Oslo museum.

I agree, there's something tacky about it.

Glad to hear the paintings were found. That's pretty m'azing.
