MUNCH is home to the world's largest collection of works by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. The new MUNCH opened by Oslo’s waterfront 22 October 2021. The bespoke structure, designed by Estudio Herreros, is housing more than 26,000 works that Edvard Munch bequeathed to the City of Oslo before his death. The museum also manages collections donated by Rolf Stenersen, Amaldus Nielsen, and Ludvig Ravensberg.
The museum traces the artist’s profound influence both on modern art and on artists through to the present day. Alongside displays of iconic artworks from the renowned permanent collection, temporary exhibitions show Edvard Munch’s lasting influence in his own contemporary society, as well as on today’s generation of artists.
Here, we wish to invite you into the world of Edvard Munch and show you his life and artwork!
