After a great start with fantastic visitor numbers on over 170,000 during the first 3 months since the opening, MUNCH is pleased to announce the exhibition program for 2022.
Tracey Emin (born 1963) is one of the UK’s most celebrated and controversial contemporary artists. In her first major Nordic exhibition at the newly opened MUNCH, the artist shows how Edvard Munch has influenced and shaped her work over several decades.
Friday 22 October 2021 the new MUNCH officially opens to the public in Oslo. At five times the size of the original building, the new MUNCH allows visitors to experience the full range of Edvard Munch’s work across 11 floors.
MUNCH transforms Oslo’s skyline, yet bows respectfully towards the city that surrounds it. This is the architects’ vision for the new MUNCH. Read more about the story here.
The first Edvard Munch artwork is relocating to its new home, the new MUNCH set to open 22 October. Artworks with dimensions upwards of 5 x 11 metres will be lifted through the roof of the old museum and making their way down to the new MUNCH’s fjord-side location. A crane is hoisting them through a large wall slit on the sixth floor. This large and complicated operation is a pioneering feat.
New MUNCH to open to the public on 22 October 2021 in Oslo
Press conference for the announcement of the new MUNCH opening date and exhibition programme. Thursday, 27 May from 1:00pm BST / 2:00pm CEST.
MUNCH is proud to present the museum’s first online exhibition of contemporary art. Contemporary Art Digital Shorts (CADS) is an exhibition series in three parts, each clustered around a different topical theme. The first is entitled “Screen culture” and features works by artists such as Camille Henrot, Sofia Caesar, Stine Janvin, Milad Forouzandeh and Lex Brown.
MUNCH will now open in Spring 2021
The planned opening of the MUNCH in the autumn of 2020 must be postponed until the spring of 2021 due to the remaining work and lack of takeover of the building from the contractor. Delayed deliveries of fire and security doors, central operating systems and Covid-19 have led to a delayed takeover of the new MUNCH from the responsible contractor to the client.
