On Munch's Aula decorations
Edvard Munch's Aula paintings were painted during the period 1909–1916, and has adorned the walls of the University Aula ever since.
The eleven magnificent images represent the university's faculties through the lives of ordinary people and Norwegian nature. The Sun, Alma Mater and History are the most famous.
In Munch's time, the hall paintings were controversial, today they are a real national treasure that many come to experience.
