Bergen Kunsthall

Bergen Kunsthall is a contemporary art centre at Rasmus Meyers allé 5, in central Bergen. Its changing exhibitions bring together Norwegian and international artists, with gallery spaces for both solo and group shows. The scale can be modest, but the installations invite a closer look. Check the bookshop for art literature, then take a break in the café. The programme also includes concerts and club nights, so an evening visit can pair art with a live event.

Exhibitions and events

Bergen Kunsthall presents contemporary art by artists from Norway and other countries. Its programme includes solo and group exhibitions, so the works on view change over time. The galleries can be compact, but some exhibitions use the space to create an immersive experience. Check the current programme before you go to see what is showing.

The art centre also hosts concerts and club nights. If you are planning an evening out, look at its events alongside the programme at the nearby Grieg Hall.

Tours, workshops and the bookshop

Workshops and weekly tours are part of the programme. Most tours are conducted in Norwegian, so check the details if you need an English-language option. Some themed visits include activities that invite you to make art in response to the exhibition.

The bookshop stocks art literature, and the café gives you a place to pause during your visit. Admission arrangements can differ by exhibition: check ahead, and look into whether a Kode ticket gives you free entry on your chosen day.
