Which museum in Oslo displays the 1893 painted version of "The Scream"?

The 1893 painted version of “The Scream” is displayed in Oslo’s National Gallery.

Edvard Munch created four principal versions of the composition: two paintings and two pastels. The 1893 painted version—made with oil, tempera, pastel and crayon on cardboard—is the first painted version and is held by Norway’s National Museum collection. It was formerly exhibited at the National Gallery in Oslo.

A common mix-up is the Munch Museum, which holds the other painted version, made in 1910, as well as an 1893 pastel. The National Gallery itself became administratively part of the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in 2003, so modern references may call the institution the National Museum rather than the National Gallery.

Munch’s image was inspired by a sunset walk near Oslo’s Ekeberg hill. He described seeing the sky turn “blood red” and sensing an “infinite scream passing through nature.” The work later became a landmark of Symbolism and a major influence on Expressionism.
