The "most comprehensive" exhibition of
Edvard Munch's art is set to open in Oslo to mark 150 years of the artist's
birth.
More than 270
works will be displayed, including art loaned by public and private owners from
around the world.
The exhibition
will run across two venues - the National Museum of Art, Architecture and
Design and the Munch Museum.
Munch
Exhibition of the Century runs in Oslo from 2 June until 13 October.
Munch Museum
director Stein Olav Henrichsen said he hoped to "expand knowledge,
curiosity and enthusiasm for Munch's life and art, locally, nationally and
internationally."
The exhibition
will include work from the Norwegian's debut as a 20-year-old in 1883 until he
stopped painting just before his death in 1944.
Munch's work
from 1882-1903 will be exhibited at the National Gallery, while his works from
1904-1944 will be shown at the Munch Museum.
Last May, the
artist's famous work The Scream became the most expensive art work sold at
auction, selling in New York for $119.9m (£74m).
The 1895 pastel
is one of four in a series by the artist and was the only one still owned
privately.
