I love museums and this one as great. I enjoy a museum that is dedicated to a single artist. They have a lovely cafe and gift shop if you don’t buy tickets. However, the tickets are worth it. The collection is excellent and not overwhelming. I would suggest 1.5 hours for a visit. Don’t miss the floor that is dedicated to his home life. It’s really interesting and very creatively executed. The Scream is great to see, but he has so many other interesting works. There are also free lockers for coats and bags. The view of Oslo from the top deck is also a nice bonus.

Definitely worth a visit! The Munch exhibitions are great (although The Scream set of pictures were unavailable when I visited, due to maintenance). There are also usually other prominent artists' shows on, on some of the 11 floors of this large gallery - when I visited there was a disturbing but outstanding show by Vanessa Baird. You can also visit a cafe bar on the 12th floor which has spectacular views of the city (you don't need to buy anything to see the views). For some reason when I visited on a Saturday evening in late November the museum entry was free, but it's usually about €13. There are free lockers for your backpack, and there is a cafe on the ground floor.

A must-see in Oslo - highly recommend to get the audio guide via App. The selected pieces are very representative for the different themes and are explained briefly but to the point.

The only hall which was overcrowded is of course the hall with the famous Scream. Every few hours one of the different versions is presented. So you can take your time in the museum and appreciate the different versions at one after the other. The most impressive thing is the hall with the theme Sun - huge format of painting, we were thrilled and deeply touched. You can feel the warmth of the sun, the love to the nature and the nation of the artist.

The architecture itself is a fantastic artwork.

I was hesitant about this gallery at first because I only knew about the Scream and whilst it is iconic, it is not a painting I'd want on my wall.  However, this is one of the best art galleries I have been in.  I spent 6 hours in it and was enthralled.  The exhibitions are superb and you get a sense of the whole of the artist's life and development.  The other factor is the building, which is a stunning piece of architecture.  The views from the roof bar and terrace are fabulous and worth the entry price alone.

The Munch is a really nice museum that houses many of Edvard Munch’s works throughout his career as well as other pieces that were inspired by Munch.  There’s also a neat exhibit that chronicles Munch’s life, which I really appreciated.  There are 13 floors with a restaurant at the top that provides a great view of Oslofjord.
