In the footsteps of Edvard Munch - Oslo
Oslo is the city where Edvard Munch grew up and started out as an artist. This is also the place where he spent the last decades of his life. Today, Oslo houses the largest part of Munch’s artistic production, including his best known masterpieces. Join one of our Munch tours and get to know one of the greatest artists of modern times!
One of the tours takes you through the city center to Munch-places such as the Grand Café on the parade street Karl Johan, to Pilestredet 30, where Munch spent seven years of his childhood, to the University of Oslo’s downtown campus and the Aula, with the huge decorations of The Sun, The History and Alma Mater, to the National Museum and the iconic Munch-room.
Another tour takes you to the Ekeberg Sculpture Park on the hillside of Oslo, enjoying the view on central Oslo and the Munch Museum. A short walk through the park will bring us to the vantage point where Munch got the inspiration to paint “Scream”. We will take the tram back to the Munch Museum, where a guided tour will take you through the exhibitions “Edvard Munch Infinite” and “Edvard Munch Monumental”.
Another tour takes you to Munch's Grünerløkka where Edvard spent most of his childhood and youth. After visiting Munch’s five different addresses at Grünerløkka, we will stroll through Damstredet, the charming and picturesque part of central Oslo with well-preserved and inhabited wooden houses from the late 1700s and the 1800s, and reach Edvard Munch’s burial site at the cemetery Vår Frelsers Gravlund/Æreslunden, Norway's main honorary burial ground.
