Exhibition on Screen: Munch (Encore)

Directed by Ben Harding

Many know Edvard Munch (1863-1944) as the man who painted The Scream, but his complete works are remarkable and secure his place as one of the greatest artists to have ever lived. With 220 paintings on display, the 2013 celebration of Munch’s birth brought together the greatest number of his works in one place.

This film goes behind-the-scenes to show the process of putting the exhibition together, as well as provides an in-depth biography of a man who lived from the mid-19th century right through to the German occupation of Norway in the Second World War. Host Tim Marlow speaks to special guests who offer their expert insight on a not-to-be-missed exhibit co-hosted by the National Museum and the Munch Museum.
