Private day trip from Oslo to Edvard Munch's important sites

Visit Edvard Munch’s summer home in Asgardstrand, where he lived and worked, creating early versions of some of his most famous works, including "The Scream." The house-turned-museum features preserved studio spaces and artworks, and offers visitors a great insight into the methods and lifestyle of one of Norway's best-known artists. The surrounding fishing town is also worth exploring when the coastal weather allows for leisurely strolls spent admiring old homes, cozy cafes, and the water beyond. Importantly, the interior of the house closes in the winter, so it's best to visit in the summer and book a tour: http://www.munchshus.no/

Immerse yourself further in Munch's life and enduring legacy in Kragero, where he lived for six years in the early 20th century. Follow a marked coastal trail to see several of his sites of inspiration, explore art galleries that highlight other local artists, and learn more about the settlement's history and Munch's life at the Berg-Kragero museum. Be sure to spot the statue dedicated to Munch on Skrubben, and consider sampling some of the region's seasonal local seafood.

Take a scenic drive above Oslofjord and stop to take photos and admire the shifting light of this mountainous inlet. Watch as the water becomes a flurry of activity in the summer or a peaceful wonderland in the winter.
