The Munch Museum director, Stein Olav Henrichsen, told the outlet he could not explain why the fact that the works were missing had not been recognized earlier.
Henrichsen also explained that the Munch Museum took the responsibility for the artworks in 2010. Before that, Oslo’s Aker commune was responsible for them.
