Beautiful new building overlooking the harbor. Four floors dedicated to one artist. If you like his works there is no place better. The scream has three variations. The are viewable one hour apart.

Beautiful Museum. I love building , many have different view but the view from above is nice. You require to have tickets purchased or Oslo pass can include this. There are different floors with different themes. The main attraction is the scream and it's worth it. There is a floor for children games and activities so you can leave children there and enjoy other floors. The sky bar was closed when I visited but the view from above is really nice. It might take 1-2 hours to see full but if you just go for scream then it will be less. If you have Oslo pass then must visit place.

Amazing collection of art to see and a fabulous building with commanding views over the bay. The staff were warm and friendly, as is everyone in Oslo, and keen to assist. Admission was not too expensive. Well worth a visit.

I should start by saying this is an art museum and only people with a passion on art can enjoy this. That said, now going into my impressions on Munch museum. It’s one of the most amazing art museum’s I’ve ever been to. I have to say, it is very huge 😅. We spent around 4hrs in the museum and could only cover 60% of it. It’s kinda hard to pick what-I-liked here. You’ll love every minute you spend in this building. Should I choose something, I loved the Munch monumental. They have dedicated 2 floors (merged in to one insanely big room) just for this section. This room had the most popular painting like The Sun, in an unimaginable size. This place is worth another visit. My wife is an artist and she said she left a part of herself in that museum. No more words.

The closest a museum have to being an airport. Interesting building and exhibition. I feel however many other modern museums have been able to make the interactivity more integrated into the exhibition. At the Munch museum there is one floor which is the "kids floor" but that's about it for interactivity. Adults would like to interact too! To me, the most intense and beautiful was the picture of Munch's sister. You can tell he really really worked hard on this. The intensity in the colors can't be copied - you would just have to see it yourself. This was the highlight for me. We paid 16 euro per person, which needs to be bought at a specific time. Recommend doing so in advance.

I had an excellent visit at the Munch museum. What I really liked is not only the art but also the exhibition about Munch himself at the top floor. Very interactive and interesting! Interesting fact about the famous „Scream“: You can only watch one picture at the time to protect the famous piece of art. It will change every hour. Ticket costs 15€.
