If you own one of Samsung's Art TVs, your living room is about to gain some serious cultural credibility. Samsung has added 37 works by Edvard Munch to its Art Store, the digital art service built into its Art TV lineup, including the painting most people will recognise on sight: The Scream.

What is in the collection
The collection was put together with MUNCH, the Oslo museum that holds the world's largest body of the artist's work. Alongside The Scream, it includes well-known pieces such as The Dance of Life and Melancholy, plus rarely seen works like Garden with Trees and Two People at Table. Many of those quieter pieces are kept in controlled museum archives because they are too fragile to put on public display, even in Oslo, so seeing them on a screen at home is a genuinely uncommon chance.
Each work is reproduced in high resolution, which is the part that makes the difference. Munch's brushwork and colour are central to why his paintings land the way they do, so a faithful copy on a large panel reads as art rather than as a photo of a painting.
Turning the TV into a gallery
The idea behind Samsung's Art TVs, led by The Frame, is that the screen earns its place on the wall even when nobody is watching anything. In art mode the set displays a chosen piece instead of sitting as a black rectangle, and a matte finish on The Frame is meant to cut glare so the image looks more like a print. The Munch works slot straight into that use case.
Samsung Art Store gives users access to more than 5,000 artworks from museums, galleries and artists, now including the Munch collection. "Through Samsung's global reach and Art TV technology, we can make Munch's work more accessible to people around the world," said Tone Hansen, Director of MUNCH. The collection is available on Samsung's Art TV lineup, which includes The Frame, The Frame Pro, Neo QLED, OLED and Micro RGB sets.
Availability
The Munch works went live on Samsung Art Store worldwide on 1 June 2026, so they are ready to browse from the Art Store app on a compatible set. In Europe, owners of compatible Samsung TVs who are new to Art Store get a complimentary 90-day trial. Samsung has not spelled out local subscription terms in this announcement, so the simplest move is to open Art Store on your own TV and check what is offered there.
For anyone who bought an Art TV for exactly this reason, a 37-piece Munch collection is a strong addition to the wall.
