World premiere.

Follow the design and construction of the new Edvard Munch Museum in Oslo Norway, designed by architects Estudio Herreros. Herreros’s proposal is based on the idea of a tower-shaped museum, where the main functions are organised vertically.

MUNCH is sixty metres tall and constitutes an interesting counterpoint to nearby buildings, most notably to the horizontally oriented Oslo Opera House.

With cladding in recycled, perforated and partially translucent aluminium panels and its characteristic leaning top section, the museum has become a distinctive Oslo landmark.
