Why go
The formal facade marks an earlier chapter in Bergen’s museum architecture and offers a sharp contrast with the surrounding art venues. Look up at the J. C. Dahl sculpture above the entrance, then continue among the Kode buildings to compare their different settings and styles.
What to look for
- The Neo-Renaissance facade sets Permanenten apart from nearby modern museum buildings.
- A sculpture of painter J. C. Dahl stands above the entrance.
Useful to know
- Check Kode’s current programme before making an interior visit the purpose of your trip.
- Treat the exterior as a short stop during a wider walk around the Kode area.
