About
KODE Art Museums of Bergen, also known as KODE Bergen, is a museum complex in the Norwegian city of Bergen. Its address is Rasmus Meyers allé 3, 5015 Bergen. The complex is made up of four buildings, and it is presented as Norway's largest art museum complex, so a visit can easily fill an afternoon or more.
What you will see
The collections span both international and Norwegian art. Visitors can find works by Edvard Munch and by Pablo Picasso, alongside a wide range of Norwegian art. The museum also holds extensive collections of applied arts and design, which give a useful sense of how everyday objects and decorative work were made and valued.
What kind of visit it makes
KODE suits anyone interested in painting, sculpture and design, and it works well for a slower, unhurried day. Because the four buildings hold different parts of the collection, it is worth planning a route in advance so you can see the areas that interest you most.
- Art lovers who want to follow Norwegian painting alongside international names
- Visitors interested in applied arts and design
- Anyone looking for an indoor visit on a day when the weather is uncertain
Getting there and planning
The museum is in central Bergen, and the city itself rewards time on foot, with its harbour, wooden old-town streets and surrounding hills nearby. For up-to-date information on visiting, you can call KODE on +47 53 00 97 04.
