Good collections but contemporary lost on me but I try. More traditional stuff fine but my favourite was the design part. One admission gets you into 4 buildings and again s part of Bergen Card makes value sense.

They still charged 100 NOK for entrance, but about Munch they said... "come back later. We shall have everything in one building, then." Well, I guess once that happens it will be great, but what about in-between?! There were some other fine paintings on display, though.

I would rate this museum five stars if I wasn't a bit confused about what was what. One of the museum buildings was closed during our visit, and I don't know whether what we saw in the other was all inclusive or not--hence my waffling. Still, there was a very interesting exhibit of Nikolia Astrup, an early quasi-impressionist, and several... More

You get a ticket for all four museums, except that, when I went, the modern collection was closed. Some interesting exhibits, including an installation by Ai Wei Wei. However, the design museum is worth the price of the ticket alone. Good cafés.

There are 3 galleries in close proximity, the other 2 being the Rasmus Meyer which has several Munch, and the Stenersen which has temporary exhibitions and we went for a coffee. The large gallery has a ggod collection of Norwegian and other art over the centuries. We tend to just visit the 19th/20thC galleries which appeal to our taste.

This was a really gentle way to spend a late afternoon - very good value to get in and lots of interesting exhibits. It really set the tone for my evening..

Bergen Kunstmuseum (Art Museum) located right in the heart of the city by the side of the Lille Lungegårdsvannet, the artificial lake in the centre of town.The admission fee of 100NOK per person (approximately £10.85 or $17.25) sounds expensive but everything in Norway is. Then again, this ticket is valid for three different buildings in the arts complex and in... More

Nice if you like museums in general. Full of Norwegian/Scandinavian paintings depicting fjords, forests and landscapes.
