It is free on Thursdays. The gallery is very well kept and a has a great selection of art from antiquity to modern abstract stuff. You are required to store your bags and large items in the free lockers begore entry. The gallery is well organized and easy to navigate. There are great pieces here with descriptive placards. They also have some sketches of the development of some of the pieces. There are very informative displays talking about the history and relevant information of the pieces displayed in the rooms. Edward Munch's The Scream is displayed here as well as several other of his paintings.
The pinnacle of Norwegian art. Good atmosphere. Located in very central place with no parking. If the weather is good could walk from the National theater train station.
A wonderful collection of paintings, sculptures and drawings from famous and non famous artists of Europe, beginning from the 14th century up to the most modern artists of our time. It is located in the heart of Oslo in a magnificent building. Visitors can spend a few hours here, learn about the evolution of arts in Norway and their influence from Dutch and Italian masters. The collection hosts the most complete selection of paintings from Edvard Munch, including his most important paintings.
Anyone travelling to Oslo, should definitely make a stop at the national gallery. I had expected it to be largerBut given the amount of famous art that's here it's still very worth it. A student ticket is only 50 kroner which is incredibly reasonable. Edvard Munch's the Scream is housed here as well. The painting is also not allowed to leave the country, so if you're in town now's your chance!
One of the best art museums I have been to. Good guide that knew what she was talking about and made it interesting, beautiful pieces of art inside a wonderful building. Worth taking a trip just to see the architecture. There is also the famous "skrik" painting and many other great, original works.
Very nice place to visit. I love Tons of art there and an area for shopping. I bought a book and watch back home.
There was a lot of really great things to see! I'm really happy I got to go here.
Had a really great time walking around the gallery. Lots of great works to see. They have a room with about 12-15 of Munch's works. Easy to walk the whole gallery in about 3 hours. Recommend paying for the audio tour as it has some great info about some of the works. I wish they would add a few more audio captions to the list. Recommend adding the National Gallery to your list of stops if you are in Oslo for a few days.
A great variety of paintings from different art waves in Norway. The famous "scream" painting by Munch. Also free entry on Thursdays!
Compact collection in the historical building. Important works of northern romanticism and expressionism.
In a few years the museum collection will be transferred to its new location; so last chances for seeing them in its old home.
