Must see building/gallery on an Oslo visit located on the quayside with lots of restaurants nearby. Galleries spread over a few floors including a section dedicated to the most famous Scream painting. Galleries are well laid out and presented. The building itself is very impressive. Bags/rucksacks are not allowed in galleries but there are lockers available (free) on the ground floor near the gallery entrance. There is a very good gift/book shop in the main foyer. There is also a really cool bar terrace and restaurant on the top floor (once you enter you cannot go back to the galleries) well worth a visit. Overall a great experience.

Soo disappointing.
Torally unimpressed with the curation of the Munch collection in this brand new building.

The building is interesting, with huge spaces, just ideal. The paintings are well spaced out. Plenty of wall space. But whatever they teach Curators at Curator-School it is deffo not practical common sense.
The size of the font on the wall, giving date of painting and name, require you to get up close and personal to read ... along with everyone else!! And forget such info for the Monumental Munch paintings, they're foregone completely! No info. And in another room, the font blends into the background. Doh!

Why, oh why have the Curators persisted with such old technology, typed small fonts that wouldn't look out of place in a Museum from the 19th century??

And it is somewhat disingenuous to display in a darkened area, referencing 3 illustrations of 'The Scream' when we all know the painting is still actually shown in the National Museum...

The pretention of the Curators and Management is such they have deemed it appropriate to have only unisex toilets. No choice.
And I can understand disallowing backpacks, but having to empty the contents of your handbag into a paper carrier is excessive. Oh yes, they should have invested a bit more on the technology for the lockers, given the frequency in which they fail and security has to be called to unlock with a key.

The collection is fine. But would I revisit? A resounding No.
This museum is hugely frustrating. And very overpriced at 160 NOK for the experience. I have visited several of Oslo's brilliant museums and enjoyed a much more interesting experience, and at far better value.
The 10th floor view over the city is fab. But it will cost you.

This museum is a must add to the itinerary for a visit to Oslo. The Munch exhibit surpassed expectations. The building itself lends to a wonderful experience.

The museum has 13 floors but only a few present art- however, this will be enough to spend half a day. There are three Munch floors, alll very intereting, one with his best works, one with monumantal paintings for the university (very large) and one with his woodblocks (jigsaw puzzles) and prints. Furthermore there are floors for exhibitions, during out visit one about a Norwegian female artist and an excellent one about painting after World War 2, when art had to be reinvented: abtract works, action painting, Cobra. Outstanding works and well presented. The entrance fee is a bit tough, 160 Kr. We could easily buy a ticket but advance booking is advised. The shop is very disappointing. The views from the building to the outside world are an extra.
