Edvard Munch was born at Engelaug Østre farm in Løten on 12 December 1863. When Edvard was only 10 months old, the family moved to Oslo. They nonetheless stayed closely in touch with their friends at Engelaug farm. In later life, Munch visited Løten and Engelaug on many occasions, and the time he spent in the area would provide inspiration for subsequent works.

We will follow in the footsteps of Edvard Munch driving from Oslo to the Munch Centre in Løten.  The museum is located at Klevfos Industrial Museum at Ådalsbruk and neighbours Munch’s birthplace. After a coffee-brake and a short visit of the authentic Klevfos Cellulose & Paper Mill from 1888, we will have a guided tour at the Munch Centre. We will end our visit at The Edvard Munch Kunstverksted and its printmaking workshop where we can make our own Munch print.

Before having lunch at the charming Løten Railway station, we take a photo stop in front of Munch’s birthplace, Engelaug Østre farm.

 
After lunch we are heading to Løten Church, where Edvard was baptised for the second time, four months after the urgent baptism at home when the newborn baby nearly died. After a short stop at the church, we are passing by the old distillery Løiten Brænderi and several of the farmhouses where the Munch family rented a room during their stay at Løten. After this short drive we return to Oslo.
