Edvard Munch
Åsgårdstrand has been a vacation and bathing destination since 1920. It had already become an artists' colony by then, attracting painters such as Edvard Munch and Fritz Thaulow. Edvard Munch spent a total of seven summers at his vacation home in Åsgårdstrand, known as "Munchs Lille Hus" ("Munch's Little House"). The house is now a museum, located on Munch's Street ("Munchsgate 25").
