About Kode Art Museums
Kode is four separate museum buildings on Rasmus Meyers alle facing Bergen's city park (Byparken), containing the largest collection of Nordic art outside Copenhagen and Stockholm. The four buildings (Kode 1-4) cover 600 years: Bergen Silver (Kode 1), Nikolai Astrup and Norwegian expressionism (Kode 2), Norwegian Golden Age painting and international modernists including Munch, Picasso, and Klee (Kode 3), and design and applied arts (Kode 4). NOK 150 covers all four buildings for one day. Open Tuesday-Sunday from 10 AM. Allow 2-3 hours to cover the highlights.
Insider Tips
NOK 150 covers all four buildings for one day. Start with Kode 3 (the largest permanent collection, Norwegian Golden Age landscapes and the international modern art room with Munch and Picasso) and move to Kode 2 (Nikolai Astrup's intense expressionist Norwegian landscapes, less well-known internationally than Munch but arguably more powerful). Kode 1 (Bergen Silver) is for specialist interest. The Kode 4 cafe is a good lunch stop. Best visited on a rainy day when outdoor alternatives are closed.
