I can’t imagine doing it for something like the Mona Lisa, but I take plenty of other paintings to get the painting and plaque in one shot, so after I can look up the names of painters I liked and hadn’t heard of.
Munch’s The Scream actually does kind of merit taking a picture, though. At least for the Munch Museum in Oslo, he made a ton of different versions on cardboard or paper bases that can’t hold up to extended exposure to light, so the ones on display get rotated every half hour or so. There’s also another version of it a short distance away in the National Museum, so it could be fun to compare all the different versions you can catch.
