Nasjonalgalleriet

The National Gallery in Oslo is Norway's most important art collection and is home to outstanding works by Edvard Munch as well as international masters such as Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, and Henri Matisse. Founded in 1842, the museum was first housed in the Royal Palace before moving into its own building in 1882. After being merged into the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in 2003, the collection has been housed in the newly opened National Museum in Oslo since 2022. The gallery gained international fame in 1994 through the spectacular theft of Munch's "The Scream," which was recovered soon afterward. Today, visitors can experience a diverse mix of Norwegian and European art history in one central location.
