Stein Olav Henrichsen: Taking Munch into the future

The new Munch Museum already towers 13 stories over old Viking plots by the Oslo fjord. Stein Olav Henrichsen is the museum director who has taken on the task of managing an historic milestone, as the Munch collection is moved and visitor numbers must double. Who is he, and what does he want? Is Munch relevant enough to fill the grand new museum?

One minute interview

What is your favourite tool in the office?

It is Edvard Munch’s last will and testament, where he gave all his art and property to the City of Oslo. It is on the wall behind me, to remind me of why I am sitting here.

What are you reading?

I usually read several books at once. Right now it is two novels: Sofi Oksanen “When the Doves Disappeared", and Maja Lunde “History of the Bees”. 

What did you want to become when you were a child?

Early on I was sure that I wanted to become a saxophonist, and I did. 

What is your hidden talent?

I am very good at whistling.
