Experience Edvard Munch’s Villa and World in Hvitsten near Oslo.

Edvard Munch’s villa at Nedre Ramme is now fully renovated and restored to its original glory!

Welcome to Villa Munch

The lengthy and meticulous restoration of Edvard Munch’s villa is now complete, and we are ready to welcome our distinguished guests.

A unique experience awaits, where renowned artist Edvard Munch lived and worked from 1910 to 1944. Edvard Munch painted many of his colourful, later masterpieces at Ramme, including an extensive series of large and monumental works for the auditorium of the University of Oslo.

To enter Munch’s home is also to step into his world and we hope our guests will experience the same peace of mind he did here.

Villa Munch is nestled in the beautiful and secluded landscape by the Oslo Fjord at Hvitsten. The Villa is reached via a long and steep dirt road bordered by deciduous and coniferous trees. The lane ends at the water’s edge and you have arrived at Villa Munch. The house sits on the embankment up the hill from the cul-de-sac. The house is surrounded by a newly planted apple orchard and old pear tree from Munch’s time.

There is a small formal garden, an apple orchard, a paddock, a beach, a cove, a rocky promontory,and a glen with a pine grove. The view to the south opens up to an expanse of the horizon.

Guests may arrive here by car, boat or by air.

The culture trail: In Munch’s footsteps

At Nedre Ramme we have established the culture trail In Munch’s Footsteps, where you can wander through Munch’s own landscape and see reproductions of his art in the locations where he found the motifs.

The culture trail’s main plaque provides information about Munch’s life and work at the site.

You will also find relevant artworks and photographs. There is a map of the area showing the trail, its location, and signage.

Along the path you will find eight plaques with photographs and reproductions of Munch’s artwork.

These plaques show selected works and photographs from Munch’s time at Ramme. They are placed in the relevant areas of the terrain.

You can find out more about Edvard Munch at Ramme, the artworks he made here, his life, and models at our exhibitions in Ramme Art Gallery, or you can join the Munch Wandering.

The culture trail runs along the fjord to the west. The trail has been adapted, with set stones and markings. At the start of the trail you will find a plaque with information about the artist’s life and work at the site.

Plaques with reproductions of Munch’s works have been placed at pertinent points along the path. In Munch’s Footsteps has been realised with funds from the Savings Bank Foundation DNB and in collaboration with Vestby municipality.
