At the museum, I was able to appreciate Munch&#8217;s various art pursuits which consisted of more than just paintings. Munch also did woodworking and sketches. <\/p>\n\n\n<figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52184703349_a89e229203_z.jpg\" alt=\"Edvard Munch's &quot;The Scream&quot; in a wooden frame on a black background.\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Scream<\/figcaption><\/figure><br>\n<figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52184457536_0ede530cfd_z.jpg\" alt=\"People look at framed artwork on the white walls of an art gallery.\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside gallery at Munch Museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>The other famous Edvard from Norway is Edvard Grieg. He is a famous composer who wrote pieces such as &#8220;Morning Mood,&#8221; which has been used in countless movies. Since Grieg was from the city I have been studying in, Bergen, just a short walk lead me to his house which they have turned into a museum. I attended a piano concert inside a beautiful music hall that they built overlooking Grieg&#8217;s old music writing hut. It was a very beautiful experience to overlook the fjord that inspired much of his music.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52184939150_6515d77c50_z.jpg\" alt=\"A small building with large glass windows and a grass-covered roof sits in a lush garden.\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grounds of Grieg&#8217;s residence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52184703394_7cc2b2dcb6_z.jpg\" alt=\"Rows of chair slope down to a stage with a single piano.
