While the National Gallery is more convenient for those wishing to only see The Scream, devoted Munch fans can see two versions of the aforementioned artwork as well as the largest collection of his pieces at this museum slightly outside of central Oslo. A pioneer of the expressionist movement, Munch is one of Norway’s beloved citizens and upon his death in 1944, his works were bequeathed to the city. The Munch Museum subsequently opened in 1963. Home to over half of the artist’s life’s work, the museum also boasts copies of every piece he ever completed. A new museum next to the Opera House in the up-and-coming Bjørvika area is on track to open in 2018.
