🖼️ Munch Museum | Reasons to Love Oslo

Visiting the Munch Museum gave me a feeling similar to when I was at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. It's about the dedication of the museum and the essence conveyed by the artist themselves. Art should not be exclusively highbrow; how to effectively communicate it to as many people as possible is something many museums and curators need to consider. The Munch Museum employs many interactive experiences, even creating a video game, all to allow people from different countries, industries, and age groups to interpret Edvard Munch and his works in a more accessible way. Regardless of the level of understanding one has upon leaving, the effort is certainly there. I particularly like a passage written on the museum's wall, which states that the understanding of Munch's works evolves with the times and society, and that research is never-ending. There is no set order to the thematic series on display; it's entirely up to each individual's heart. Among all the series, my favorite is "to die." After learning about Munch's life, although the paintings depict death, I can feel that he craved life more than anyone else. It's akin to Van Gogh's plum blossoms painted from his sickbed, which have moved many to tears as they listen to the explanations in front of the painting. It's worth spending at least one day in Oslo for the Munch Museum, trust me! #citywalk #Nordic #MuseumRecommendation #Oslo #Museum #MunchScream #Art #Exhibition
