Munch Museum (MUNCH)
Nearly 28,000 works by one artist — Munch left everything to Oslo, and Oslo built a whole museum around it.

Edvard Munch's bequest to the city created one of the world's largest single-artist collections. The museum moved into a new Bjørvika building in 2021 and pulled 775,000 visitors in 2025. Five permanent collection galleries run simultaneously, so there's far more on view than any single visit can cover — including works most people have never seen.
What to look for
- The five concurrent collection exhibitions, which rotate to show the full breadth of Munch's practice beyond his most famous works
- Six to seven temporary shows per year featuring modern and contemporary artists other than Munch — the programming runs year-round
- The digital Catalogue Raisonné, where unknown works sit alongside the celebrated paintings in a searchable archive
Located in Bjørvika; with 775,000 annual visitors, book tickets before you arrive.
Munch Museum (MUNCH) is one of 27 sights worth the detour in Oslo, all bundled offline in Voyage GO — download the Oslo pack and it sits on your map with no signal, filling your travel passport the moment you walk past.
