Hotelier: Explore the world's most beautiful Munch collection
Kjetil Smørås is hotel director at De Bergenske. When he needs to unwind, he heads to Bergen's Kode art museums.
"Although it's not the biggest, Kode does have the most beautiful Munch collection in the world," says Kjetil Smørås and adds:
"In addition, this is where you'll find the country's boldest and brightest art and culture curators."
Bergen's best museum
Kode consists of four centrally located art museums and three composers' homes outside the city centre. It's Scandinavia's largest museum of art, design and music, and is the place Kjetil always recommends to both locals and visitors alike.
De Bergenske is a collection of premium hotels and restaurants in Bergen. As hotel director, Kjetil is responsible for several locations that are located right in the city centre and is very well versed when it comes to recommending the best experiences in Bergen.
