Conservation Department
The MUNCH Conservation Department is a specialist unit bringing together painting conservators, paper conservators, art technicians and museum scientists dedicated to caring for and researching Edvard Munch's work. The department handles both the physical preservation of the artworks and scientific investigation into the materials and techniques the artist employed. What to see here is the meticulous conservation work that keeps Munch's masterpieces in condition for future generations.
Research Library
The Research Library at Munch-museet is a specialised archive housing comprehensive documentation and knowledge on Edvard Munch. It serves both internal and visiting scholars with open access to its extensive collections, which include scholarly literature on the artist, documentary photographs, transcripts of his correspondence, and period press clippings. An invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand Munch's life and work in depth.
Permanent Collections Exhibitions
The MUNCH-museet's permanent collection exhibitions take you through Edvard Munch's work alongside his contemporaries, featuring his most iconic pieces and works by guest artists including feminist Paula Rego. You can explore pioneering woodcuts through to large-scale works spanning up to 50 square metres displayed across spacious gallery halls. What to see ranges from intimate prints to monumental canvases that define modern Norwegian art.
Temporary Exhibition Halls
The Munch Museum's temporary exhibition spaces are spread across a 13-storey vertical structure, with galleries on each floor designed as separate rooms that allow flexible configurations and different routes through the building. About 40% of the total building area is devoted to exhibitions, though architect Juan Herreros emphasises that displaying art is not the museum's primary function. The galleries feature modern and contemporary art works alongside thematic exhibitions exploring Edvard Munch and his contemporaries.
