History
Munch's House, or Nygårdsgrunn, is a historic beach house museum in Åsgårdstrand, in Horten municipality, Norway. It is preserved as a small artist's museum dedicated to the painter Edvard Munch, since he spent long periods of time there. Munch first came to Åsgårdstrand in 1885, with his family, and stayed in this town for most summers until 1905. He himself bought the house in 1898. Until 1905 he visited it regularly, later it would be more sporadically.
