In connection with work on the façade, new discoveries were made relating to the lion heads that adorn the entire façade.

"New" Bergen Museum unveiled

The scaffolding on the north wing of the monumental building at Muséplass has now been removed. With that, the building now presents itself with a new colour, similar to the one it once had.
