About MUNCH
MUNCH is home to the world's largest collection of world-renowned Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863–1944). The museum’s new building, designed by Estudio Herreros, opened on Oslo’s waterfront in 2021, and houses several galleries and performance spaces over 13 floors. Tone Hansen has been its director since October 2022.
MUNCH presents an exhibition programme of modern and contemporary art alongside its collection displays. Recent group exhibitions have focused on Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Nordic Modernism. The contemporary programme includes the MUNCH Triennale with an emphasis on the relationship between art and new technologies, and SOLO OSLO, a series of annual solo exhibitions that showcases emerging artists on the Oslo scene. MUNCH also presents solo exhibitions with a range of internationally established artists, and a series of performance commissions. In 2024, the museum inaugurated the MUNCH Award honouring artistic freedom of expression.
