Norway is opening its biggest new museum Saturday, joining under one roof the National Gallery, Museum of Contemporary Art and Museum of Decorative Arts.
The combined museum’s 80 galleries will show about five thousand items from its collections of almost 400,000 works of art on two floors of the building. It’s located at Aker Brygge, just back from the Oslo waterfront. Its collections run the gamut from ancient porcelain and Old Masters to recent pieces. It also has one of the copies of Edvard Munch’s ‘Scream.’
It’s the third new art and culture museum to open in Oslo recently, with the opening also of the Munch and Deichman Bjørvika museums.
