More than a century later, these twelve paintings are now leaving the factory to be shown at MUNCH in the exhibition Edvard Munch and the Chocolate Factory. This book sheds light on the frieze from new perspectives: Curator Ana María Bresciani puts the works into a social and art-historical context, while author Marta Breen gives voice to the factory’s many female workers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthor Per Petterson writes about his mother, who worked at Freia, and about his own encounter with Munch’s art. Chipo Dendere, an expert on African studies, looks at the historically charged cacao industry, while painting conservators Lina Wulff Flogstad and Mie Mustad provide a rare insight into the conservation work behind the exhibition. The book shows how the Freia Frieze speaks not just about its own time but about ours – about art, work and community.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished to accompany an exhibition at the MUNCH Museum, Oslo, running from May until November, 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eAna Maria Bresciani, curator, Munch Museum\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 176 pages | 100 colour illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eDate published:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e June 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e9788284620619\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e 26.1 x 21.1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003ecm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Munch Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57067799871866,"sku":"9788284620619","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/8302\/files\/edvard-munch-and-the-chocolate-factory-9788284620619-1249063232.jpg?v=1784030918","url":"https:\/\/www.museumbookstore.com\/products\/edvard-munch-and-the-chocolate-factory","provider":"Museum Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
