Oslo, Norway

Arrived exhausted yesterday after long flights: Spokane to Seattle to Amsterdam to Oslo. Spent most of our day at the new Edvard Munch museum We both have long had an interest in Munch. Hope that’s not too strange. Years ago we traveled to NYC for Spring break because MOMA had a special Munch exhibition.

New Edvard Munch Museum

We didn’t wait to get a close view of the painting The Scream. There were other renderings including a woodcut print which I think I like better than the color version.

The new museum is beautiful and  incorporates some interactive activities for adults and children. After 4 hours we were satisfied we’d seen enough

On the walk back to our hotel I made Dennis climb the Opera House roof. We climbed this roof in 2019 with rain and sleet blowing in our faces. I couldn’t Believe Dennis didn’t want to go up in better weather.
