Utställningsutrymmet uppgår till mycket rymliga 12.380 kvadratmeter, som inkluderar en föreläsningssal som används för olika funktioner inklusive tillfälliga utställningar. För en mer interaktiv upplevelse är gästerna fria att kolla in tillgängliga audioguider, guidade turer, konserter, föreläsningar och visningar; alla tillgängliga för en nominell avgift. Observera att guidade turer på engelska endast äger rum en gång om dagen kl. 13 under juli och augusti.
Museet ligger vackert på södra sidan av Oslos botaniska trädgård och nära Zoologisk Museum, vilket gör det till ett bekvämt läge för andra stadens attraktioner. Du kan antingen ta tunnelbanan till Tøyen, spårvagnen 17 till Lakkegata skole eller enkelt köra till närliggande parkering.
Munch Museum is located in the Gamle Oslo district of the city at the south side of Oslo’s Botanic Garden. From Central Station, take the Line 3 subway to the Tøyen stop, and walk to Tøyengata. Or, take bus Line 16 and stop at Tøyen skole. Walk north for a few minutes until you get to the museum. Parking is nearby.
The museum is generally open daily from morning until the afternoon. From September to May, the museum is closed on Mondays; during the spring and summer, the museum is open longer hours to accommodate more guests. Come on a weekday morning to beat the crowds. Peak season in Oslo coincides with the warm summer months (mid-June through August).
In 2004, two men walked into the museum and demanded both The Scream and Madonna paintings at gunpoint. While some experts at the time estimated the value of The Scream at around US$100m, others said it was almost impossible to put a number to it. Two years later, the paintings were recovered, having both sustained minimal damage, but the motives of the thieves were never understood.
