The listed building, where the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch had an important creative period in 1907 and 1908, serves as an exhibition space, forum and studio.
From May 1907 to October 1908, the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (1863-1944) lived in the Baltic resort of Warnemünde. In the fisherman's house at Am Strom 53, he recovers from a deep life crisis and spends 18 artistically extremely productive months here. In 1990, the house, which dates back to the 17th century, is placed under a preservation order. In December 1994, the Edvard Munch House Association was founded in Warnemünde to preserve the memory of Edvard Munch and the historically interesting fisherman's house.
Since then, artists of various media from Germany and Norway have lived, painted, written and made music in the Edvard Munch House and then presented their work to the public. The house is a studio, forum, shared stage and exhibition space in equal measure. As a rule, the house is open at weekends between 12 noon and 5 pm.
