Kode Art Museum - Lysverket — Attraction in Bergen

I was really looking forward to visiting the KODE Museum, but unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by unwelcoming and overzealous security staff. While observing the art—like everyone else around me—I was abruptly singled out and told off for standing too close to a painting. There were no clear signs or guidelines indicating any required distance, and others were doing the same without issue.

What really bothered me was the unprofessional way it was handled: the guard pointed to me and said to my boyfriend, “It was her,” as if I wasn't even there. From that moment on, we were tailed by not one, but two guards for the rest of our visit, which made us feel incredibly uncomfortable and unwelcome.

To make matters worse, the small wall plaques are nearly impossible to read unless you’re close—and yet I was instructed to stay a meter away. So unless you plan to bring binoculars, good luck getting any context for the art.

Come to KODE if you're looking for a security-escorted tour and an obstacle course of museum etiquette with no signage. The art is lovely, but the experience?...

Collection of 4 museums, to be honest I’ve seen better museums, but for Bergen I think it’s very good, “Last Dance” installation looks very magical, however knowing why it was created may change your vision on this installation. Other museum is about sound design, quite popular direction now, however not for everyone. Other two are paintings by famous like Edward Munch, Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky and not very famous artists. Mostly avant-garde artists, however there are many works made in different styles. A lot of Norwegian artists. If you have couple free hours in Bergen, after visiting some other attractions it’s a nice place to visit. Tickets cost 150 NOK for adults and 100 NOK for Students. You can buy them in place and one tickets is for...
