The British Museum will host the largest exhibition of Edvard Munch’s prints in Britain in almost half a century. Edvard Munch: Love And Angst features more than 80 prints and lithographs of the artists, most of which were loaned from the Munch Museum in Oslo.

A major highlight of the exhibition will be Munch’s iconic The Scream. The British Museum will display a rare lithograph in black and white which Munch created following a painted version and two drawings of the image.
