He painted the snow just west of the city in the winter of 1895, and Norway is one of the landscapes in the show.

He thought the old houses by the bridge looked like a Japanese village. MUNCH has not published a list of works, but it illustrates the show with a Kolsås from 1895. ## Floor 3 sets wild coasts against his garden ![Water lilies and reflected green stems on a violet pond, painted by Claude Monet in 1915.](https://osloexplore.com/blog/monet-at-munch/monet-water-lilies-1915.webp) Image: [Claude Monet](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Claude_Monet_Nympheas_1915_Musee_Marmottan_Paris.jpg), Public domain, adapted The show follows his last four decades: the Mediterranean coast, Brittany, the Creuse Valley and Norway, set against the garden he built at Giverny. The [water lilies are at the centre](https://www.munch.no/en/exhibitions/monet/). Give the late pictures the most time: he painted them as his eyesight failed, and MUNCH calls some of them the freest he ever made. Loans from the Marmottan and Orsay in Paris and the National Galleries in London and Washington save you three flights. ## Book a Saturday evening, not the Oslo Pass ![The MUNCH museum at dusk, with its red sign lit above the ground-floor windows.](https://osloexplore.com/blog/monet-at-munch/munch-museum-dusk.webp) Image: [Nurtenge](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Munch_Museum_in_the_evening.jpg), CC BY-SA 4.0, adapted MUNCH stays open until 21:00 Wednesday to Saturday, and only Saturday has no [school](https://www.munch.no/hva_skjer/skoletilbud/skoleomvisning-barn-monet/) or [group tours](https://www.munch.no/en/whats-on/grupper/group-tour-monet/) of this show. [Entry is every 30 minutes](https://www.munch.no/en/buy-tickets/entranceexhibitions/?eventKey=inngang-monet-30685) and you can stay as long as you like, so take 18:00 for three hours before closing. [First Wednesdays are free](https://www.munch.no/en/visit-us/) from 18:00 to 21:00, drop-in with tickets at the museum. That points to 3 March, 7 April and 5 May, but MUNCH has not listed those dates, so treat them as a bonus. The [Oslo Pass gets you in](https://www.munch.no/en/buy-tickets/free-entry-at-munch/) but [reserves no slot](https://www.visitoslo.com/activities-and-attractions/oslo-pass/conditions-of-use): you collect a ticket on arrival and wait if none are left. An adult pass costs 580 NOK for 24 hours against a 220 NOK ticket, so skip it for this show alone. Eat first: food and drink stay out of the halls, and MUNCH [does not guarantee a way back in](https://www.munch.no/en/buy-tickets/) if you leave for a meal. [Palate](/oslo/places/palate), 3 minutes' walk, cooks Italian and French with Scandinavian ingredients. Or eat after: MUNCH's restaurant [adds a Monet menu from 18 February](https://www.munch.no/en/food-drink-munch/munch-restaurant/), and its kitchen is open until 22:00 on Saturdays. **Sunday to Tuesday until 18:00. Edvard Munchs plass 1.** ## See the bridge Monet painted in Sandvika ![The iron arch of Løkke bro over the Sandvikselva river, with snow on the banks, in December 2008.](https://osloexplore.com/blog/monet-at-munch/lokke-bro-snow.webp) Image: [Mahlum](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:L%C3%B8kke_bro.jpg), Public domain, adapted With a spare half-day, take the train to Sandvika, about 14 minutes from Oslo S. [Løkke bro](https://www.baerum.kommune.no/om-barum-kommune/historisk-arkiv-barumskilden/kulturminner-i-barum/lokke-bro/), Norway's first cast iron bridge and the one in the painting at the top of this page, stands in [Løkkehaven park](https://www.baerum.kommune.no/tjenester/natur-friluftsliv-og-naturmangfold/friluftsliv/parker-friomrader-og-turveier/parkene-i-barum2/lokkehaven/), 4 minutes' walk from the station. It has since been moved, so his view has gone. He would have coped: he [told an interviewer in Norway](https://www.artic.edu/digital-publications/48/monet-paintings-and-drawings-at-the-art-institute-of-chicago-2/406/cat-34-sandvika-norway-1895) he wanted to paint the air around a bridge, not the bridge. In the park, Tobbe Malm's [Monet point](https://www.baerum.kommune.no/globalassets/tjenester/natur-kultur-og-fritid/kunst-og-kultur/kunstjakt8-11arrevidert-komprimert.pdf) of 2020 reproduces one of those paintings, and the mural under the bridge has his lilies on it. **Løkkehaven park, Elias Smiths vei 5, Sandvika.** ## Facts checked on 9 November 2026 - Official tickets: https://www.munch.no/en/buy-tickets/entranceexhibitions/?eventKey=inngang-monet-30685 - [MUNCH: Monet, Wild and Tamed](https://www.munch.no/en/exhibitions/monet/) - [MUNCH: visit us](https://www.munch.no/en/visit-us/) - [VisitOSLO: Oslo Pass conditions](https://www.visitoslo.com/activities-and-attractions/oslo-pass/conditions-of-use) - [Bærum kommune: Monet in Sandvika](https://www.baerum.kommune.no/monet) - [Art Institute of Chicago: Sandvika, Norway](https://www.artic.edu/digital-publications/48/monet-paintings-and-drawings-at-the-art-institute-of-chicago-2/406/cat-34-sandvika-norway-1895) ## Group activities in Oslo If you are hosting a team or clients around Monet at MUNCH, you can request these from us.

An entrance ticket covers every exhibition in the building, and MUNCH always has a version of The Scream on display. **Is MUNCH open over Easter 2027?** MUNCH shuts on 1 May every year but has not published its Easter or Whitsun hours for this run. In 2026 it closed at 18:00 from Maundy Thursday to Easter Saturday, on Ascension Day and on the Saturday before Whitsun. So do not plan an evening on Easter Saturday, Saturday 1 May or Saturday 15 May. **Can I bring a suitcase or backpack?** Lockers in the lobby take hand luggage only and there is no storage for anything larger, so leave a checked suitcase at your hotel. Backpacks are not allowed in the halls, so even a small one goes in a locker.
