On February 10, 2025, Queen Sonja of Norway attended the opening of the exhibition "Edvard Munch: Inner Fire" in Rome. The exhibition, featuring 100 works by Edvard Munch, is on display at Palazzo Bonaparte. It arrived in Rome after first being displayed at Palazzo Reale in Milan last autumn.

All 100 works included in the exhibition have been loaned from MUNCH. The exhibition provides a comprehensive overview of Munch’s artistic and personal development through iconic works such as Girls on the Bridge (1927), Dance on the Beach (1904), and a lithograph of The Scream (1895). It also features works from Munch’s time in Italy. The exhibition is curated by American art historian Patricia Gray Berman.

    Queen Sonja looks lovely in this winter white and sharp black outfit. The skirt could be shorter and the jacket just a bit looser in the bust and upper arms. But all in all, a very nice look.

    What great look for Queen Sonja. The Pacemaker is doing such a good job. She is always on the go. So nice to see her.

      Agree CSS with your comment 'great look' for Queen Sonja
      From what I understand about Pacemakers, also known as Stimulators,
      they are there to cut in as a booster for the heart when/if necessary.
      They are not energy makers.

      Hello, @ Deadeggs.
      She is a class act indeed.
      I am almost in awe.

    Belle association des couleurs blanche et noire mais sa jupe aurait mérité d'être un peu plus courte ; son collier original apporte une petite touche de modernité !
