Bergen Kunsthall
Bergen Kunsthall is a centre for contemporary art and presents exhibitions and events by international artists. Landmark is our vibrant strand of live events that includes concerts and club nights. We organise a broad range of learning activities and debates that are open to everyone.
Established initially as Bergens Kunstforening in 1838, the Kunsthall is based in an early functionalist building designed by the architect Ole Landmark in 1935, with gallery spaces, a café and a bookshop. Bergen Kunsthall is supported by the Ministry of Culture, the City of Bergen and Vestland county.
Bookshop
Bergen Kunsthall’s bookshop offers a broad range of artists’ books, monographs and cultural theory from international publishers. We also sell publications and art editions produced especially for Bergen Kunsthall.
The bookshop is a great place to research as well as to find a special gift.
Landmark Café
We serve a changing lunch menu, prepared with love and dedication to seasonal and local products. Our coffee is from the outstanding Supreme Roastworks, and we’re passionate about natural wines and beer with character.
Opening hours café Monday – Sunday 11:00–17:00, kitchen closes at 16:00.
