About this audio guide
This guide to the National Museum in Oslo stands you in front of Edvard Munch's The Scream and sends your eyes away from the famous figure, to a line of faint pencil in the sky. It touches Copenhagen in nineteen oh four, an infrared camera in twenty twenty-one, and a heated autumn of eighteen ninety-five when Kristiania's critics and students turned on the painter. Best heard close to the painting, where you can see its upper left corner.
