The collection spans historical Nordic painting through contemporary art, and includes the world's third-largest collection of works by Edvard Munch, housed principally in the Rasmus Meyer building.

Is KODE Included on the Bergen Card?

Yes, but only part of the year — the Bergen Card gives confirmed free entry to KODE from October through April, and a confirmed 25% discount during the busier May-September season, both stated directly on the Bergen Card's own official attractions page.

Bergen Card

Conditional. Confirmed on the Bergen Card's own official attractions page: free entry October-April, but only a 25% discount May-September. Genuinely seasonal, not a flat inclusion.
