Proud collaborations

Kode and Bergen have a long tradition for cultural public and private collaborations. Two of our museums are historic reminders of the importance of such collaborations.

Rasmus Meyer’s family gave Bergen city an outstanding gift in 1916, which, among other things, included the third largest Edvard Munch collection in the world. The municipality provided the building which houses the Rasmus Meyer collection today and is named after the collector.

In 1971, financier and art collector Rolf Stenersen donated his art collection to Bergen city. The funding for the building now carrying his name was brought about through the efforts of individual persons, Arts Council Norway and gifts from Bergen’s private sector.
