About the museum

Bergen Art Museum is one of the largest art museums in the Nordic countries. Our visitors can appreciate art from the Renaissance to the contemporary era in three characteristic buildings along the idyllic Lille Lungegård lake, in the very centre of the city.

In the Lysverket building you can take a walk through art history in an extensive permanent collection. Rasmus Meyer Collection houses several of Edvard Munch’s masterpieces, as well as works by the leading representatives for Norwegian art in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Stenersen building is the venue for several temporary exhibitions every year.
