By foot

Lysverket, Rasmus Meyer and Stenersen lie in a row in Rasmus Meyer’s allé along lake Lille Lungegårdsvann. Permanenten is located in the extension of the street, but you have to cross the street Christies gate to get there. From the direction of Torgallmenningen, Permanenten is closest to you, whereas Lysverket is closest if you arrive from the train station or bus station.

By public transportation

The four museums are located close to Festplassen and just a short walk from the railway station, bus station and the Bergen Light Rail stops Byparken and Nonneseter.

By car

There are several parking houses close to the museums. The closest one is GriegGarasjen in Lars Hilles gate 3.
