About
Бързи факти: Visitors often stop at the soaring marble staircase that funnels soft natural light into the galleries, making colors glow and conversations fall into a respectful hush. The collection brings together masterpieces across fine art, design, and craft, including several iconic versions of The Scream and intimate sketches that reveal the artist's process.
Акценти: Inside the vast new building you can walk through more than 400,000 works from five merged collections, the route folding from a 17th-century carved altarpiece to a glowing 1980s neon piece in under ten minutes. Conservators deliberately lower the gallery lights to about 50 lux and hold the air at roughly 50% relative humidity, and when you lean close to a glass case you often catch the faint scent of beeswax and warm wood around Edvard Munch paintings, which makes the palettes feel unexpectedly intimate.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, galleries are spread over several floors and long walks through the building are common.
- Leave large backpacks in the free cloakroom to speed up security and protect artworks.
- Flash and tripods are prohibited, use a fast lens and steady hand for low-light gallery photos and take wide exterior shots from the plaza.
- Avoid midday crowds at the Munch room by arriving at opening or late afternoon, and reserve timed tickets for popular temporary exhibitions.
