Munch Museum

One of the few museums in the world dedicated solely to one artist is the Edvard Munch Museum in Oslo, which features works by the Norwegian painter, graphic designer, and sculpture. Large portions of his entire body of work are represented in the museum's collection, which also includes 13 of his few sculptures, 7,700 sketches, 18,000 prints, 1,150 original paintings, and watercolours. The collection also contains over 2,000 other personal items, such as furniture, books, diaries, notes, photos, and painting tools, in addition to 500 printing plates. Munch himself had instructed in his will that his entire estate should be handed over to the city of Oslo.

Munch is able to give a broad variety of approaches to Edvard Munch and his art, as well as contrast his works with those of other modernists and current artists, thanks to its 13 levels and 11 exhibition spaces. The permanent exhibitions are drawn from Munch's own collection, which for the first time really has the space it deserves. The museum's events schedule will include music, shows, film showcases, and art discussions in addition to regular displays.

The museum’s gift store features more than 1,200 paintings by Munch which offer the perfect souvenir! Aside from the artistic inspiration, a journey here will bring you to the location that drew two armed robbers in 2004 who were effective in stealing Munch's most renowned painting: The Scream!
