The original Munch Museum was situated at [[Tøyen]] in the Oslo borough of [[Gamle Oslo]]. Construction of the museum was financed from the profits generated by the Oslo municipal cinemas and opened its doors in 1963 to commemorate what would have been Munch's 100th birthday. Its collection consists of works and articles by Munch, which he donated to the municipality of Oslo upon his death, and additional works donated by his sister Inger Munch, as well as various other works obtained through trades, including duplicate prints.<ref>{{cite web | first=Annette | last=Faltin | url=http://www.snl.no/Munch-museet | title=''Munch-museet'' (Store norske leksikon)}}</ref>

The museum had in its permanent collection well over half of the artist's entire production of paintings and at least one copy of all his prints. This amounted to over 1,200 paintings, 18,000 prints, six sculptures, as well as 500 plates, 2,240 books, and various other items. The museum also contained educational and conservation sections, and has facilities for the performing arts.<ref>[http://www.gallen-kallela.fi/artnoir/Mmuseo.html ''Munch Museum'' (artnoir)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101123142500/http://www.gallen-kallela.fi/artnoir/Mmuseo.html |date=2010-11-23 }}</ref>

The museum structure was designed by architects [[Einar Myklebust]] and [[Gunnar Fougner]]. Myklebust also played an important role in the expansion and renovation of the museum in 1994 for the 50th anniversary of Munch's death. This site was also the location of filming for an ''[[Olsenbanden]]''-movie from 1984.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nkl.snl.no/Einar_Myklebust |title=Einar Myklebust|publisher=Norsk kunstnerleksikon |first=Elisabeth|last=Seip|date=20 February 2017|accessdate= 1 September 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://nkl.snl.no/Gunnar_Fougner |title=Gunnar Fougner|publisher=Norsk kunstnerleksikon |first=Elisabeth|last=Seip|date=20 February 2017|accessdate= 1 September 2017}}</ref>
