Exhibition: Munch 150

Exhibition is London's National Gallery series of in-cinema art events, featuring the world’s foremost upcoming art exhibitions creatively captured especially for the big screen. This episode covers the work of Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (1863 - 1944) on the 150th anniversary of his birth.

Many know Munch as the man who painted The Scream (which recently set a public art auction record going for $US120 million), but his complete works are remarkable and secure his place as one of the world's great artists. Munch 150 goes behind the scenes to show some of the process of putting the exhibition together - as well as touring Norway to provide an in-depth biography of a man who lived from the mid-19th century right through to the German occupation of Norway in the Second World War.
