Featured Events in Oslo in February 2025 (April Updated)

Artists across Northern Europe have long been fascinated by all things Gothic. The exhibition combines fin de siècle symbolist works with medieval and Northern Renaissance art, showcasing 250 works from 60 artists across different periods. Including Munch, Holbein, Kollwitz and Cranach, the content includes paintings, prints, drawings and sculptures, with themes ranging from love to suffering and encounters with death. The exhibition also covers the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th century, adding some less dark and depressing elements.

This exhibition invites you to explore the world of Edvard Munch —his ideas, processes, and the profoundly human topics that occupied him and that still affect us today. Through a wide selection from the museum’s collection, you can experience the richness of Munch’s artistic career and his unrelenting drive to experiment and innovate. The exhibition provides the opportunity to engage with themes and motifs that Munch explored his whole life in the form of paintings, graphics, drawing, photography, and sculpture—the tales of anxiety, death, love, and loneliness, which we all have in common.
