Munchx [muːŋks]
Munchx Gallery is an exhibition venue for the display and sale of art, where the exhibitions link together different disciplines and eras. We use the past as a treasure chest to enrich contemporary visual experiences.
Our goal is to facilitate experiences and for you to open up for personal associations and discoveries, making an encounter with art as vital to your well-being as health, a tasty meal or being among good friends. We believe art is a tactile and visual language that engages all your senses.
The artists at Munchx work within a variety of areas e.g. painting and photography to sculpture and mixed media. We hope to inspire in you a deeper inner feeling for art, helping you to find that perfect piece to bring home. Please contact us about art and explore art in Munchx butikk.

Munchx gallery started with Christine, but is currently run with three others, who contribute their invaluable experience, expertise and inspiration.
When you shop at Munchx gallery, whether it's from the showroom in Villa Fredheim or the Munchx butikk, we hope you find exactly what makes your heart beat and that you put genuine emotions in your shopping cart.
Inspired by the past and present, Christine Munch aims to make Villa Fredheim a place for the flow of knowledge about art and design. The Munchx gallery is located in the villa and the name is linked to her family name. It is a homage to her grandparents, Didrik and Borghild Munch, who ran the property as Munch's boarding school. And to her parents, Kjell and Peppe Munch, who continued the legacy and opportunities.
Christine Munch is also inspired by others who have gone before in the family, such as her great-great-great-grandmother and Christine Storm Munch, the painter Edvard Munch, the historian P.A. Munch, school textbook author Mathilde Christine Munch, cousin Charlotte Munch, Lars Utne, Captain Svendsen, Consul Lars Usterud-Svendsen, Astrid Waas and contemporary friends, who have created or are creating their own life journeys.
The "X" in Munchx symbolizes the unknown. The impulsive and unforeseen in life. The opportunities we are given and the choices we make. Like looking for an x on a treasure map or coming to an intersection – a crossroads. When you look at a work of art and it tickles your stomach, then you know you have found the treasure on your own individual treasure map.
