This gives the Munch Museum a unique position in both a Nordic and international context, and the museum collaborates with leading art institutions all over the world. In addition to works by Munch, the museum also houses the collection of Rolf E. Stenersen. The new museum will present the collection, as well has having an ambitious and wide-ranging program of temporary exhibitions, including modernism and contemporary art.

We are looking for an art historian, specialized in modern art from the 19^th and 20^th century, preferably with a PhD. The museum is characterized by an international professional milieu, which we wish to complement with someone with extensive experience of curatorial practice and art historical research. Specialist competence in works on paper is desirable.
