In 2020, the Munch Museum will open new exhibitions in a new building drawn by the Spanish architect firm Herreros Arquitectos. In the new museum, the Munch Museum and the Stenersen collection will be co-located for the first time and shown in the same building and under the same roof. The Munch Museum will showcase a wide selection from the collections in various exhibitions, hereafter referred to as the Collection Exhibitions.

The Collection Exhibitions shall be displayed on a total of 2 598 m2 distributed over four floors.
