BERGEN ART MUSEUMS (KODE)
Go there and contact
KODE is the union of four art museums, all on the same campus, which present one of the best overviews of Nordic art in all of Scandinavia.
KODE 1 is the former Design Museum (located at Nordahl Bruns gate 9). The building houses the most important collection of Buddhist marble sculptures in Northern Europe. The permanent exhibition, "Man and Objects", tells the story of design and applied arts through 5 centuries.
KODE 2 hosts the annual temporary exhibitions, as well as the permanent collections of contemporary art.
KODE 3 houses the Rasmus Meyer collection, including several works by Edvard Munch, twenty large oil paintings, including Melancholy, Evening on Karl Johan, Jealousy and The Three Ages of Women, as well as works by the great Norwegian masters of the 18th and 19th centuries. The Romantic period is well represented by J.-C. Dahl with The Birch in the Storm and The Monastery of Lyse. We see Tidemand and Gude, the former with The Bad News and the latter with his High Mountain Landscape. Christian Krogh's stark realism shines through in The Struggle for Survival, while Kitty Kielland's magical light is captured in her Jæren Landscape.
KODE 4 is devoted to 20th-century art, including Harald Solberg's numerous sketches of the Rondane Mountains. Also worth seeing are the Klee, Picasso, Miro, and the KunstLab, an art laboratory for children.

j'ai particulièrement apprécié Kode 3 et Kode 4 où l'on retrouve de beaux exemples de peintures norvégiennes et un ensemble de peinture du XXeme siècle.
Attention, le kode 1 était fermé en juillet 2016 pour travaux.
