The debt contemporary culture has towards Munch is impressive, from Andy Warhol to Ingmar Bergman, from Marina Abramovich to Jasper Johnes. If his painting has become a symbol and at the same time an omen of the tragedies of the 20th century, his art has travelled new and experimental roads of extraordinary modernity. It is also a journey through Munch’s Norway, his complex relationship with women and his idea of time.

Today, however, it is his city, Oslo, which sets a turning point for the knowledge of Munch: the birth of a new museum, opened in June 2020.
