KODE Art Museums
KODE Kunstmuseer
Four art museums lined up along the lake, holding some of Norway’s most important art and design collections, including works by Munch and Astrup.
KODE is one of the largest art museum complexes in Northern Europe. Its main venues line the shores of Lille Lungegårdsvann lake in the city centre. The Rasmus Meyer Collection focuses on Norway’s Golden Age painting, including Munch. Lysverket (the Lysverket building) displays Norwegian classical and modern art, and there are also a museum of design and applied arts and a contemporary art museum. A single ticket usually admits you to all the museums within its validity period, which makes KODE a good choice on rainy days. Check the official website for opening days and prices. It is about a 10-minute walk from the fish market and sits next to Grieg Hall.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00–17:00; some halls closed Mondays (check official website)
