Munch 150, Nasjonalgalleriet, Munch-museet, June 2 -October 13
Although the 150th anniversary of the birth of Norwegian painter Edward Munch is being marked all year long in a series of noteworthy happenings, the central event is an exhibition titled Munch 150. Jointly organized by the Oslo National Gallery and the Munch Museum, the exhibition will be shown at these two locations. Featuring over 220 paintings and 50 works on paper, this is the largest ever retrospective on the Nordic pioneer of Expressionism. The exhibition covers 60 years of Munch's artistic career, from the early 1880s until his death in 1944. One of the highlights is the almost completely reconstructed series of paintings named The Frieze of Life (1902), which also includes the legendary Scream.
