Oslo - Munch Museum

On the south side of Oslo's Botanic Garden, at Tøyengate 53, the Munch Museum has a collection of paintings, graphic art, drawings, watercolours and sculpture by Edvard Munch (1863-1944), Norway's greatest painter, representing almost all the different phases of his art. Characteristic features of Munch's work are fantasies of life and death, Nordic melancholy and a mystical feeling for nature.

The museum puts on special exhibitions devoted to particular aspects of the artist's work, and also participates in exhibitions of Munch's work in Norway and abroad.

Attached to the museum are rooms for study and research and a restoration department. Other events (concerts, etc.) are organized from time to time. In the inner courtyard of the museum is a sculpture by Naum Gabo.
