Norwegian art, design, architecture, Munch's The Scream
"When Norway’s National Gallery, which had been housed in the same building in Oslo since 1882, closed in early 2019, this effectively shut the door on the public’s access to one of the world’s most recognizable paintings by Norway's most famous artist. Thankfully, as of June 2022, Edvard Munch fans can once again see what is believed to be the artist’s first version of The Scream, now housed in a sleek new space."
"Screaming for 'The Scream' at the National Gallery Established in 1837, Nasjonalgalleriet (The National Gallery) houses the country’s largest public collection of paintings, drawings, and sculptures. The focus is mainly on Norwegian art, featuring works by Munch (his perhaps most famous work, The Scream, is on display here), but the museum also displays works by international artists, such as several French Impressionists. There's also a completely charming café and small gift shop inside. P.S. Nasjonalgalleriet is connected to several other museums and galleries in Oslo (like The Museum of Contemporary Art, The National Museum of Architecture, and The Museum of Decorative Arts and Design) and your entry ticket gives you access to all of them – not a bad deal at all!"

"I recommended visiting the National Museum (which now houses the National Gallery collection) to see Edvard Munch’s The Scream among over 53,000 items on display, noting the collection includes Impressionist, Dutch, Picasso, and El Greco works even if the gallery itself is not vast." - Matthew Kepnes
