KODE

Getting around: KODE's museum buildings sit around Lille Lungegårdsvann lake in central Bergen, an easy walk from the harbour and Bryggen.
Hours: Open daily except Mondays for most of the year, with standard daytime hours; check individual building schedules as KODE spans four separate buildings that don't always share identical hours.

KODE is Bergen's major art museum, spread across four connected buildings around the city-centre lake, holding one of Scandinavia's largest art collections including a substantial number of Edvard Munch works alongside Norwegian and international art, decorative arts, and design. It's less a single museum than a cluster - visitors typically pick which building(s) match their interest rather than doing all four in one visit.

Composer Edvard Grieg's connection to Bergen also surfaces here, with KODE managing the Grieg-related collections that complement a visit to his home at Troldhaugen outside the city.

KODE FAQs

Does KODE have works by Edvard Munch?

Yes, it holds a significant Munch collection, among the largest outside the dedicated Munch Museum in Oslo.

Do I need to visit all four KODE buildings?

No, each building has a different focus (older masters, modern art, design, Nordic art), so picking one or two based on interest is common rather than doing all four.

Is there a combined ticket for all buildings?

Yes, tickets typically cover entry to all KODE buildings on the same day.

Is KODE connected to Troldhaugen?

Yes, KODE manages several Edvard Grieg-related sites and collections, including Troldhaugen outside the city.

Is it closed on any particular days?

Typically closed Mondays, standard museum days otherwise - worth confirming current hours before visiting.
