Chances are even travelers who can t tell a Picasso from a Rembrandt have seen some version of Norwegian artist Edvard Munch s famous The Scream painting. The memes alone depicting the despairing man, eyes wide, hands gripping his face have entered our visual lexicon, especially during these trying pandemic months. In fact, there is even a Scream emoji.
This summer, as part of a slew of art happenings in Norway, The Scream will move to the new Munch Museum on Oslo s waterfront, which is dedicated to the artist and 28,000 of his works along with those of other Norwegian, international and contemporary artists.
Want to see a Scream with a view? The iconic new Munch Museum will soon open in Oslo. But 2021 and 2022 will be years of grand openings of many new attractions, adventures and luxurious hotels. Several projects long in the making throughout Norway are finally getting ready to open their doors to the public.
