The painter Edvard Munch (1863 - 1944) has a unique position in the Nordic countries, as one of the pioneers of expressionism. Together with Van Gogh, Munch is regarded as the main source of German Expressionism. After studies in Norway, Edvard Munch spent several years in France and Germany from where he found influences and inspiration. The Munch Museum contains Edvard Munch's bequest to the city of Oslo, a vast collection of his own paintings, drawings and graphic works. Through changing exhibitions, the museum demonstrates the wide scope of his artistic output.
