    The Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway, is dedicated to the works of the renowned Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. Visitors generally appreciate the extensive collection of Munch's paintings, drawings, and prints, including his famous "The Scream." The museum's modern building, which opened in 2021, offers spacious galleries and good lighting to showcase the artworks effectively.

    Many reviewers praise the well-curated exhibitions that provide insight into Munch's life and artistic development. The audio guides and informative displays are often mentioned as helpful in understanding the context of the works. The museum's location in the Bjørvika district, with its views of the Oslo Fjord, adds to the overall experience.

    However, some visitors find the admission price relatively high, especially for those not deeply interested in Munch's work. A few reviewers mention that the museum can get crowded during peak times, which may affect the viewing experience. Some also note that while the focus on Munch is extensive, those looking for a broader range of Norwegian or Scandinavian art might find the museum's scope limited.

    The museum's café and gift shop receive mixed reviews, with some appreciating the quality of items available, while others find them overpriced. The accessibility and staff friendliness are generally well-regarded.

    Overall, the Munch Museum offers a comprehensive look at one of Norway's most famous artists in a modern setting, making it a worthwhile visit for art enthusiasts and those interested in Norwegian culture, despite some minor drawbacks.
