National Gallery (Norway) Tone Skedsmo (1995–2000) and Anniken Thue (2001–2003). That the gallery had erroneously been labeled as technically unfit for paintings was reported in 2013. (A previous study—about the museums—"tåleevne") had never concluded about the fitness level, and Norway's parliament had been misinformed about conclusions that in reality did not exist. ) In 2016 the price for admission doubled overnight. The Gallery includes pieces by sculptor Julius Middelthun, painters Johan Christian Claussen Dahl, Erik Werenskiold and Christian Krohg as well as works by Edvard Munch including "The Scream" and one version of his "Madonna". The museum also has old master European paintings
Edvard Munch "Death in the Sickroom", the subject is the death of his sister Sophie, which he re-worked in many future variations. The dramatic focus of the painting, portraying his entire family, is dispersed in the separate and disconnected figures of sorrow. In 1894, he enlarged the spectrum of motifs by adding "Anxiety", "Ashes", "Madonna" and "Women in Three Stages" (from innocence to old age). Around the start of the 20th century, Munch worked to finish the "Frieze". He painted a number of pictures, several of them in bigger format and to some extent featuring the Art Nouveau aesthetics of the time.
