Visit to the Munch Museum in Oslo.

The life of Edvard Munch was very depressing. Many people that were close to him died in a young age. He painted many very famous paintings; The Scream, Madonna and many, many more. We saw many of them, except the two mentioned. They will be on display starting coming summer.

This is 'Vampire'. Veronica thought the viewing was interesting. It made Barbara sad to see all the dark and sad paintings. I am sure she'll understand it more when she grows older. Several school classes were touring the museum when we were there (one Danish and one Spanish).

This is 'The Sun' painted by Edvard Munch. It usually hangs in the big hall at the University of Oslo, but that part of the Univ. is being restored at the moment, that's why this is kept at the Munch Museum. Parts of this room contained works by Munch being restored. Pretty cool to watch. See www.munch.museum.no for much more information on the painter and his works.
