Overview & History

MUNCH is Oslo's dedicated Edvard Munch museum, holding the world's largest collection of his work — roughly 28,000 items including paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures donated to the City of Oslo by the artist himself. The museum moved in 2021 from its original Tøyen location into a 13-story waterfront building at Bjørvika, next to the Oslo Opera House, with exhibition floors rising through the tower and city and fjord views from the upper levels. A version of Munch's best-known motif, 'The Scream,' is confirmed always on display somewhere in the building, though the specific room can rotate.
