MUNCH

Museum · Bjørvika · Waterfront · Oslo

Make room for Edvard Munch’s art and a waterfront pause at Oslo’s Bjørvika museum.

Plan your MUNCH visit

Spend a little longer with Munch

It is tempting to arrive with a single picture in mind. At MUNCH, give yourself time to look beyond The Scream and explore more of Edvard Munch’s work, alongside the museum’s changing exhibitions. A version of the famous motif is always on display, but the wider programme gives you a reason to choose what you want from the visit before you arrive.

Let Bjørvika fill the rest of the day

The museum’s waterfront setting makes it easy to carry a cultural visit into a walk through Bjørvika. We’d leave time for the Opera House nearby, with a pause between the two rather than a race through both buildings. Check the museum’s events if you fancy a different kind of visit. MUNCH is a general cultural stop in this selection; the archive night photograph illustrates the setting, not a current event.
