In the footsteps of Edvard Munch - Oslo
Oslo is the city where Edvard Munch grew up and started out as an artist. This is also the place where he spent the last decades of his life. Today, Oslo houses the largest part of Munch’s artistic production, including his best known masterpieces. Join one of our Munch tours and get to know one of the greatest artists of modern times!
The main tour starts in the upper part of Oslo's main street Karl Johans gate, connecting Egertorget square to the Royal Palace, which ties together several places of significance in Munch's life. This is where Munch rented his first studio, right in front of the Parliament Building. A little further up the street is Grand Café, a popular hangout for artists in the late 1800s.
We continue our walk from Karl Johans gate to Pilestredet 30, where Munch spent seven years of his childhood. We proceed to the University of Oslo’s downtown campus, where we will have a short stop talking about the huge Aula decorations, such as The Sun and The History.
The tramway takes us away from the main street Karl Johan to the Ekeberg Sculpture Park on the hill-side of Oslo. We will have a short coffee break at Karlsborg Inn, enjoying the view on central Oslo and the Munch Museum before walking to the vantage point where Edvard Munch got the inspiration to paint The Scream.
We will end this guided tour at the Munch Museum with a guided visit in selected rooms.
The main tour as described above is the longest and can be tailored to the number of hours or price that is desirable for your group. These tours are reserved for pre-booked tours for small groups until 8 people.
