What Munch Museum Shop is known for
MUNCH's museum shop bills itself as "Oslo's new design destination," selling Scandinavian design goods and pieces by designers who have reinterpreted lesser-known Edvard Munch motifs. The waterfront shop also carries an extensive range of books on Munch and art history, plus a children's section.
The shop at MUNCH in Bjørvika presents itself as Oslo's new design destination, with a focus on Scandinavian design of good quality that takes the environment and sustainability seriously. Its distinctive stock comes from a standing invitation to well-known designers to develop products inspired by Edvard Munch's art. The emphasis falls on lesser-known works rather than the familiar images, so that a visitor leaves with a wider picture of the painter's output. Bookshelves carry literature on Munch and on his era, with titles tied to current exhibitions and a run of design and architecture books. A large children's section gathers creative products meant to inspire play and develop the imagination. Functional objects and gifts sit beside the books, aimed at those who love beautiful and functional things. The online shop ships only within Norway, which makes the physical counter the door for visitors from abroad. The museum's address is Edvard Munchs plass 1, 0194 Oslo, on the Bjørvika side of the city centre.
