The Oslo Passes 2008 - A Collector's Item!

Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is considered as the greatest of the Norwegian expressionists. After his death, he bequeathed his remaining works to the city of Oslo, which built the Munch Museum at Tøyen. The museum hosts a collection of approximately 1,100 paintings, 4,500 drawings and 18,000 prints, the broadest collection of his works in the world. His works are also represented in other major museums and galleries in Norway and abroad. After the Cultural Revolution in the People's Republic of China ended, Munch was the first Western artist to have his pictures exhibited at the National Gallery in Beijing.

 

This years Oslo Pass Material is decorated with some of his works, and we are very grateful to the Munch Museum for giving us this opportunity to share some of the beauty and expressions of Munch’s world with you. You may also experience Munch online at the Munch Museum web pages.
