Time to scream...Munch Museum's three versions of The Scream 😱😱😱

The Scream is one of the world’s most famous artworks. It is the universal symbol of anxiety and has its own emoji (my favorite).

The 4th-floor collection exhibition, Edvard Munch Infinite, always has a version of The Scream on display, either as a painting, drawing, or print. They are rotated to protect their cardboard and paper from temperature, humidity, oxygen levels, and light exposure affecting color pigments.

13 floors of Art, including the Chaos Chamber for children on the tenth floor where they can misbehave, touch everything, disobey rules, and interact with the art. (My idea of hell. I used all my energy to stay ahead of the schoolchildren pouring into the entrance.)

Monica Bonvicini's glass and stainless steel She Lies represents an iceberg. It floats permanently in the fjord in front of the Oslo Opera House and changes direction with the wind and currents.
