NORWAY: Painter Edvard Munch—known for his symbolic, expressionistic works, chief among them the iconic and anxiety-ridden The Scream (1893)—owned a home near Hvisten, a compact white house between forest and fjord. Excavations on the property have turned up thousands of objects from his time there, including paint and paint tubes that have helped pinpoint the locations of Munch’s four outdoor studios there. —Samir S.
