The art in the University Aula
Experience Edvard Munch's unique Aula decorations in text and images.
The world-famous paintings in the University Aula tell stories of the university and the sciences – and of the sun as a symbol of life and creative forces.
They offer an intimate and monumental experience of Edvard Munch's characteristic imagery and use of colours, and hang in the very spot where Munch organised and painted them over a hundred years ago.
