Munch Museum
One of Norway’s largest and most important museums is situated in the modern Bjørvika district.
The modern building, into which the museum moved in 2021, is one of the landmarks of the waterfront and is situated right next to the famous Opera House.
To the south of the building, in a public park open to the public free of charge, stands the sculpture *Moren*(Mother), created by the artist Tracey Emin in honour of Edvard Munch’s mother.

Thanks, I'll edit.
On the upper sloping floors, you can lean against the glass and practise your grip… sorry, admire the city panorama. 😆 I’d also recommend watching the video on the ground floor, so you know where to look for mice.
Warning: There are three screams and you can’t see them all at once; besides, the most famous version looks better in the photo in the book than it does in the original.
