First, the bad news: Edvard Munch's most famous painting, The Scream, is damaged beyond repair.
Four years after it was stolen in an armed raid on an Oslo museum, and two years after Norwegian police found it, scratched and water-damaged, conservators have told The Sunday Telegraph there is nothing more they can do to restore what is undoubtedly one of the most recognisable paintings in the world.
But there is some good news for Munch fans: art experts believe the damage may have added to the value of a painting that was already estimated to be worth up to £50 million.
Sunday Telegraph reporter Gethin Chamberlain and cameraman Julain Simmonds get an exclusive insight into the fight to save Munch's masterpiece.
