Munch Museum

Munch Museum (Norwegian: Munch-museet), marketed as MUNCH since 2020, is an art museum in Bjørvika, Oslo, Norway, dedicated to the life and works of the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch.
The Munch Museum exhibits the full breadth of Edvard Munch’s works, along with contemporary art exhibitions. They also offer a programme of music, performances, talks, and activities for young people.
The history of the Munch Museum began at Tøyen, when it was decided in 1951 that this would be the museum’s location. During his lifetime, Edvard Munch was already involved in discussions about establishing a museum, but it was not until 1963—one hundred years after his birth—that the museum finally opened.
In 2021, the museum moved to a new building in Bjørvika, now known as MUNCH. In 2025, the museum recorded 775,000 visitors.
