Hotels near KODE Art Museums

KODE is Norway's largest art-museum complex outside Oslo, with 4 buildings (KODE 1-4) lining Lille Lungegårdsvann lake in central Bergen. The collection holds the second-largest Edvard Munch holding after Oslo, including Melancholy and Jealousy, plus major Nikolai Astrup landscapes that summarise Norwegian national-romantic painting. KODE 3 holds the Munch works.

KODE 1 displays the silver, decorative-arts, and design collection. KODE 4 has contemporary Nordic art plus a children's space called KunstLab. The Composer Homes branch operates Troldhaugen (Edvard Grieg's house) 8 km south. Single-entry ticket for all 4 museums 200 NOK; ticket valid for 2 days. Allow 3 hours for a focused KODE 3 plus KODE 4 visit.

Pro Tip: The Munch room in KODE 3 sees a queue from 11:00. Arrive at opening (11:00 weekdays, 10:00 weekends) for a clear view. Photography without flash is permitted - rare for Munch holdings.
