Bergen, Norway: KODE Art Museum

The Bergen Art Museum hasn't taken over the entire downtown area of the city yet, but it is working on it. The facility has expanded several times over the years, and in the process it has become one of the largest museums in Norway. 

The museum contains about 9,000 works of art in all, and it is spread out over four of buildings. If you are serious about this stuff, better allow some time to see it all.  

There is work by Edvard Munch, Harriet Backer, Nikolai Astrup and J. C. Dahl on display, and there are a couple of restaurants in the building if you get hungry looking at everything. 

By the way, the building in front used to host Bergen's power company. In 2003, it was turned into a museum after some construction work. That has to be a first.
