Description
The Munch Museum, opened in 1963, holds a unique position among museums dedicated to a single artist. In addition to managing an extensive and representative art collection covering the entire range of Edvard Munch’s works, the museum also possesses a wide range of other material such as sketches, letters, notebooks, photographs and other documentation of the master’s work. In this book some of the museum’s staff give an introduction to the museum’s collections, and present Edvard Munch’s life and work.
