The art in the Aula

Edvard Munch completed his Aula paintings in 1916, and they have decorated the walls of the Aula ever since. "The Sun", "Alma Mater" and "History" are the most famous.

In Munch's own time the paintings were controversial, today they are considered a national treasure that many people come by to enjoy.
