💪 Stay in shape like Edvard Munch⁠! In this episode of Edvard Munch Stories, we cover the beloved artist’s fitness regime. 👩‍🎨 Around the same time as Munch painted Self-Portrait in Hell (1908), he also photographed some nude photographs of himself at his summer house in Åsgårdstrand. After seeing these nude photos, Munch became unhappy with his physical shape and started a new workout routine, which included sports like stone- and javelin-throwing 🪨⁠ 📽️ Watch to see how Munch managed to stay in shape. ⁠ #MUNCH #EdvardMunch #EdvardMunchStories #arthistory

Step into Edvard Munch’s summer paradise, just a short distance from Oslo 🌊🌿☀️ «I have bought the Villa Nedre Ramme— Wonderfully located surrounded by woods and a large garden with 600 metres of coastline— It is the most beautiful property in the Kristiania fjord» - Edvard Munch Munch acquired the property in 1910 and kept it until his death in 1944. Following extensive restoration efforts, the villa has now been returned to its original state. Visiting is like traveling back in time, with Munch’s spirit seemingly lingering in the walls. Nestled by the fjord, the property provided Munch with a serene environment, surrounded by water, lush forests, and a garden. 🧑‍🎨 At Nedre Ramme, Munch drew inspiration from his natural surroundings and produced works in a vitalist style. His motifs were vibrant – infusing nature and people with energy and colour. "Villa Munch" is currently managed by Ramme (@ramme.no). This cultural site offers guided tours and the "In Munch’s Footsteps" trail, where visitors can explore the landscapes that inspired Munch and see reproductions of his works at their original locations 🎨 #EdvardMunch #MUNCH #Hvitsten #Ramme

🤝 Art and architecture go hand in hand. For our #TremblingEarth exhibition, we have collaborated with the architecture office @mantheykula on a journey through Edvard Munch’s world of nature. «In curating this exhibition, a significant decision was made to ensure that each of the eight rooms offers an independent atmosphere for visitors to experience» says curator, Trine Otte Bak Nielsen (@trineobn). The thematic spaces include ‘In the Forest’, ‘Cultivated Landscape’, ‘On the Shore’, ‘Chosen Places’, ‘The Scream of Nature’, ‘Storm and Snow’, ‘In a Cosmic Cycle’ and ‘Beneath the Sun’ ☀️🌾🏔️ «Variation has been pivotal in this collaboration, with each room given its own colour. Some spaces tightly display Munch’s works, while others are more sparing. Two of the rooms are accompanied by commissioned sound works by Lost Girls (@jennyhval @mrvolden) and Deathprod (Helge Sten). This variety highlights the full spectrum of nature’s significance in Munch’s work.» The open exhibition architecture encourages visitors to naturally take in its diversity, while also facilitating easy navigation through the space. Experience it for yourself before it’s too late – "Trembling Earth" ends 25.08 ⏳ 🔗 Pre-book your tickets and skip the line by following the link in our bio. MUNCH is open every day.

Today marks the beginning of the Norwegian summer holiday, also known as ‘fellesferien’! ☀️⛱️ From now until the end of July, the majority of Norwegians embark on their summer break, making the most of the season. Many travel to southern Norway, spending their days basking in the sun and diving into the refreshing saltwater 🌊 🧑‍🎨 Edvard Munch was particularly fan of classic Norwegian summer, spending the warmer days in between coastal towns south of Oslo. At his residence Nedre Ramme in Hvitsten (@ramme.no), he painted several motifs of sunbathers in the nude. We hope these works by Munch give you the true summer spirit! Let’s embrace the weather, and indulge in some well-earned relaxation and time off. 🧳 Planning a trip to Norway this summer? Don’t miss out on MUNCH, ideally situated by the Oslo fjord!

🌱🌾 Nature was always more than just a backdrop in Edvard Munch’s eyes; he viewed it as ‘the eternal great realm from which art derives its sustenance.’ The #TremblingEarth exhibition highlights Munch’s powerful methods in capturing nature, revealing the deeper layers in his artistry. 📚 In the accompanying exhibition catalogue, world-renowned author Ali Smith delves into this very theme. Listen to her words from her personal short story "So in the Spruce Forest" as she questions: what truly lies behind Munch’s brushstrokes of nature? Reflect on Smith’s exploration as you navigate through the exhibition’s eight thematic spaces. The referenced painting, Beach (1904), is displayed within ‘On the Shore’ 🌊 🔗 Continue watching the "Trembling Earth" mini-documentary by following the link in our bio. 📖 Want to read Ali Smith’s text in full? The exhibition catalogue is available for purchase in the MUNCH museum shop, on our website, and at select physical and online bookstores.
