DESCRIPTION:May 20 - Oct 11\, 2026\nEdvard Munch is so thoroughly associate
 d with existential dread that one can forget he also painted girls waterin
 g flowers in fuchsia-colored fields. In 1923\, Munch was commissioned by F
 reia\, Norway’s most beloved chocolate brand\, to create a series of lar
 ge-scale decorative paintings for the factory’s women’s canteen. It wa
 s the first time an artist had ever been commissioned to decorate a factor
 y\, and the first time such a commission had been made specifically for a 
 women’s space. The series that Munch produced is luminous and pastoral\,
  full of children\, workers\, and the quiet rhythms of outdoor life. It ha
 s hung at Freia’s headquarters all these years\, largely unseen by the p
 ublic. For the first time\, the paintings have been temporarily relocated 
 to the Munch Museum\, in Oslo\, where they take their place alongside prep
 aratory sketches and archival material\, and can be seen up close.
