A home for the «Scream». How Big Changes Start with Small Teams and bold ideas
The main character of the film is the new Munch Museum in Oslo, which opened in 2021 and caused heated controversy with its unconventional and ambitious architecture. Now it is a cultural center that has transformed the shore of the Oslo Fjord from an industrial port into a point of attraction for citizens and tourists; a building filled with masterpieces and permeated with light thanks to the use of glass and recycled perforated aluminum. The authors of the project, architects Juan Herreros and Ian Richter, sculptor Tracey Emin, who created a huge female figure symbolically depicting Munch’s mother, and everyone from the cashiers to the director are passionate about the common idea of creating a museum of the future in the Norwegian capital that will touch people’s hearts as much as the paintings of Edvard Munch stored in it.
