COPENHAGEN: Norwegian police said two climate activists on Friday tried in vain to glue themselves to Edvard Munch's 1893 masterpiece 'The Scream' at a museum in the capital Oslo and no harm was re-ported to the painting of a waif-like figure appearing to scream.

Police said they were alerted by the Scandinavian nation's National Museum and had three people under their 'control.' A third person filmed the pair that tried to affix to the painting, Norwegian news agency NTB said.
