KODE art museums
Munch, Astrup and the Rasmus Meyer collection, in four buildings by the lake
Recommended
About
KODE is Bergen's answer to a national gallery, spread over four numbered buildings along the lake. In there somewhere: a serious Munch collection, Nikolai Astrup's strange glowing western-Norway landscapes, and the Rasmus Meyer collection of Norwegian golden-age painting. Nobody does all four buildings. Pick by what's open and what's on. The ticket covers several buildings, which is a nice bonus, but don't turn it into a checklist. On a wet day this is the best indoor culture in the city.
