The National Gallery (Current)
Museum

Famous works by Dahl, Krohg and Tidemand at Nasjonalgalleriet
Located close to the National Theatre in the city centre, the National Gallery has showed off Norway’s most treasured art, artists and movements since 1837. The Munch room, featuring some of Munch’s most famous pieces including The Scream, Madonna and The Dance of Life, explores Munch’s experiments with expressionism and symbolism from the 1880s through to 1920, and provides a fascinating glimpse into Munch’s mental state. Although they may not be as well-known internationally, the Norwegian national romantic and social realist movements of the 19th and 20th centuries had a tremendously important influence on Norwegian identity and culture which continues to this day, and both are well-represented at the National Gallery through artists such as Johan Christian Dahl, Adolph Tidemand and Christian Krohg.
