Explore and enjoy Bergen like a local

By Pia Cernic, born and raised in Bergen

Are you like me when visiting different cities and countries? You don’t want to follow the tourist tracks, but rather explore and use the city like the locals do.

ind those small and special places, and when visiting the must-see attractions and activities, get some tips that will make them even more special.

bergenser. It actually doesn’t rain as much as people would like you to believe.

Pia Cerni

Bergen is packed with beautiful small alleys with picturesque houses, special shops and plenty of places to eat or to just relax and enjoy the scenery.

Anyhow, if the weather forecast predicts rain, just bring a small umbrella and you are set to meet Bergen: The capital of the fjords, the city surrounded by seven mountains, Norway’s second largest city measured by population.

You have probably heard that it rains a lot in Bergen. Well, how do you define rain? If it’s just a drizzle, it’s not “raining” for a

Depending on how many days you spend in Bergen, the things to do and sights to see are nearly endless.

I will try to guide you, and hopefully you will come to love Bergen as much as I do. STARTING WITH SOME FACTS

HOW TO GET AROUND The best way to see and explore Bergen is by foot. Bergen is a walk-friendly city. By foot you will be able to enjoy all the small quirky streets and alleys. Perhaps you’ll get lost in the cobble streets surrounded by charming wooden houses, but you will always find your way back to the starting point. Do you want to cover more ground, and have limited time, make use of the City bikes (read more on page 42) Are you eager to visit the Stave Church, The home of Ole Bull or Edvard Grieg’s Troldhaugen situated in the outskirts of Bergen city, you could rent a car. All

the big rental companies have offices in Bergen. When buying a ticket on a bus, Bybanen or the Expressen ferry from the local transportation company SKYSS, the ticket will be valid for 90min, and to be used on either of them. (read more on page 42) TIP: Take the local ferry Expressen to Kleppestø, a short 15 min. sea ride each way, only stopping to unload and upload passengers before heading back to Bergen City. Go outside (upstairs), and get a perfect view of the city and its seven surrounding mountains.

MEETING THE LOCALS People from Norway can come across as a bit shy and reserved. On the other hand, when out in the nature, we greet everyone we meet, either we know them or not. It’s nearly expected to do so! We are very proud of our city. In fact, there is a saying here in Bergen: I am not from Norway, I am from Bergen. If you need to ask for directions, we are more than happy to guide you – and most of us are fluent in English (that s what you get for being a small nation, you need to learn English from an early age).

New local favorites Fitjar Islands is a new series of products where development and production takes place in Fitjar on the west coast of Norway. Their scents are closely linked to and inspired by the landscape in and around the place they’re created, and the products are actually named after islands and places around Fitjar. For the creators of the series, there’s no better place to find inspiration for scents that represent Norwegian simplicity and freshness.

The perfect glass Technical perfection is the basic principle of the Zalto Glass Manufactury. Zalto Glasses have always been produced following a tradition of using only the most highly skilled glassblowers working with a selection of the best raw materials. This tradition, and the resulting fineness of each glass, echoes the delicate virtuosity of the great Venetian glass artists of the Renaissance. I didn’t think that there would be anything better on the glass market, this glass is. Moreover it has something erotic ..." – Francois Mauss, president of the Grand Jury Européen. In Bergen, you’ll find these glasses only in Glass Thomsen’s stores.

Trailblazers from Riccovero The Norwegian fashion brand Riccovero has struck opon a perfect balance of poise and performance, as you can tell from its latest, eco-conscious women’s tailoring collection. Once only dusted off for job interviews or for Sunday best, suits are anything but stuffy these days. Riccovero’s jackets and trousers give wearers a base of clean lines and sharp silhouettes to work from, ready to be dressed up or down as the occasion demands. They are also wrinkle-resistant. The pieces are a blank canvas waiting for you to add your own personal touch. Find your favorites at Riccovero, Xhibition and Telegrafen.

Fresh brands in store at Emil Sporty trend

In the fashion store Emil, you can get super fresh pieces from Levete Room. The Danish fashion brand offers modern, timeless and elegant pieces. The Levete woman is feminine and not afraid to play with elegant and tailored elements from the men’s wardrobe. Pair your favorite pieces with some fresh sneakers from Swedish Philip Hog. The brand is young, fresh and reflects worldwide trends. Update your summer wardrobe at Emil in Markeveien, Galleriet and Bergen Storsenter.

One of the biggest trends this year is the sporty look. This can also be found in eyewear – many people style Oakley sunglasses with their everyday outfit. If you think that the Oakley look is too sporty, there are several other fashion brands that have their take on the sporty style. Here you can see two examples from Gucci and Marc Jacobs. You can find a variety of sporty and classic sunglasses at Krogh Optikk, Xhibition and Lagunen.

SECRETS 10 about Bergen

Get to know some of the many secrets hiding in the historic centre of Bergen.

THE LION

Photo: Martine Haugen

A girl named Dyveke lived in Hollendergaten 10, and was the mistress of the danish Christian II, who at the time was king of both Danmark, Sweden and Norway. She remained his mistress until she died in 1517. Hollendergaten 10 has been associated with her and the king because of the plinth next to the entrance. The plinth is decorated with a lion in relieff, and the gold lion is also the coat of arms in Norway. In the 19th century the Lion was the city’s point zero, and all distances in the city where measured from this point. Source: Bergen municipality

A FAKE WINDOW

The old town hall in Bergen is hiding a secret on the second floor. At first glance it looks like there are three windows on the short side, but that's not true. There are only two windows, as the window in the center is painted on. This is because the town hall was made in a time when glass was expensive. Source: Bergen city archives

Photo: Martine Haugen

The whole wall on one side of Hotel Park Pension is painted on. The whole fasade on that side is false, but the windows and the detailing are identical to the other side of the building that's facing the street.

Photo by Martine Haugen

MORE FALSE WINDOWS

SWASTIKAS

The pattern on this balcony look suspiciously like swastikas, the symbol associated with the German occupation of Norway between 1940 and 1945. The yellow building in Christian Michelsens street also lies straight across from what used to be Gestapo's main quarter in Bergen. However, this building has nothing to do with this as it was drawn by architect Torgeir Alvsaker, and built in 1927. The pattern is also facing the other way, and the ends are bent to the left. Source: Bergen municipality.

GESTAPO’S HOUSE

Photo: Martine Haugen

This building lies in the middle of Bergen, in the street Veiten 3. Before the building was finished, it was taken over by the Nazis in 1940. German security police (SIPO) and GESTAPO (Geheime Staatspolizei) used the fourth and fifth floor. Fearing an allied invasion in the West of Norway, many people in the region were brought in for questioning and tortured, in an attempt to get information. Between 800 and 900 Norwegians were taken in for violent questioning during the war. The building was named Gestapohuset (Gestapo’s house) by the locals. Many prisoners died as a result of the torture, and many took their own lives. Others were marked for life. The prison cells on the fourth floor has hardly changed since the war, and you can still see names on the walls that the prisoners had carved in. Source: Riksantikvaren

THE BROTHEL

In the old days, prostitution was widespread in Bergen. One of the most known brothels was Steinkjelleren (the stone cellar). It was located in the street Steinkjellergaten 8-10, where the cellar was under house number 10. It was mentioned as a tavern and brothel in 1455.

– When I, accompanied by an archaeologist, examined the famous cannonball we noticed that it was dug a small pit in the soapstone masonry, and that the cannonball was attached into the pit using mortar. We can’t tell when this was done, but it may very well be that the cannonball stems from the battle of Vågen in 1665, and that it was later placed into the wall, says geologist Øystein James Jansen.

THE QUESTION MARK

Photo by Martine Haugen

A manhole cover lies in the street Christies Gate, close to the furniture store Slettvoll. Right next to it there is a question mark made of stone. byLIV has talked to several craftsmen laying cobblestone, but no one knows how it got there. Therefore, it remains a mystery. But it continues to spread joy and wonder among the locals.

THE DRAGON

In a street called Markesmauet hides a dragon with a green head. Sparebanken Vest (a bank in Norway) explains that it was put up as part of a decoration project in the 80’s, together with a yellow slide. The target group for the project was children and young people. www.bergensentrum.no

In 1665, a battle took place in Vågen between the English and Dutch navy. According to history, a cannonball from the battle was embedded in the wall of the tower of Bergen Cathedral. Recent examination of the cannonball shows that it has probably not been in the wall all this time.

Drama in the penguin pond Penguins are social animals that live in colonies. Like humans, they struggle with issues like stolen stones, finding a home and a complicated love life. Photos by Thor Håkonsen

ith their black and white plumage, penguins always look ready for a black tie event. The Gentoo penguins at the Bergen Aquarium are easily recognized by their white striped hair band stretching from eye to eye.

Gul/Rød is one of the penguins who live in the pond. For years she was madly in love with Ping Kong. Unfortunately, he was already in a relationship with Tessie Sonja. Eventually, a love triangle developed between the three. LOVE TRIANGLE The following season Ping Kong chose Gul/ Rød and was finally with the man of her dreams. However, the happiness didn’t last, and Ping Kong got into a relationship with Hansine. Gul/Rød was once again single and ready to mingle. And out of all the 30 pen-

guins in the pond, she chose to involve herself with her only son! The animal caretakers decided to take action to avoid inbreeding. In 2016, as many as 16 penguins were sent to live in the park Hangzhou in China. LOVE KNOWS NO GENDER As humans split up, so do penguins. Even female penguins can experience their man leaving them for another man. This happened when Pondus and Herman Piele fell in love and ditched their women.

Erna and danish Ninjago fell in love, and hopefully they will lay eggs this year. No two penguins are alike, and they all have different personalities and quirks. Pingeling is shy and mellow, Fløydis and Beffen are food fanatics, and Pingnocchio hates waiting and always tries to cut the line. Pingringen and Pingrid Alexandra is the “bitchy” couple living on the edge with the law, as they are very fond of stones and will always try to steal some from the other couples. ▗ So, if you love drama, cute penguins and want to learn more about their life in the pond, Bergen Aquarium is the place to be!

This meant that the aquarium now had six couples and two single girls, Erna (who is named after Norway’s prime minister) and Ulrikke. In hopes of finding love, six Danish penguins; four boys and two girls from Legoland moved into the pond in 2018.

Norwegian design and craftsmanship at its finest The gold and silver factory Arven is located behind Bryggen, and has produced beautiful silverware, home interior pieces and jewelry for over 150 years. Arven combines traditional handcraft with new ideas and innovation. They also collaborate with Norwegian and international designers, which has earned global acknowledgement.

n 1868 silversmith Theodor Olsen returned to Bergen rich in experiences and knowledge from his trips abroad. He established his own workshop of silver goods andbecame a pioneer within the booming silversmithing industry in Bergen. Today, the factory and shop is called “Arven” and is run by LilliAnne Alver and Ole Bjørn Gjerde.

According to Lilli-Anne, Arvens vision is to carry on the legacy after Theodor Olsen and other great craftsmen and designers, such as Magnus Åse, Marius Hammer and Jacob Tostrup Prytz. Arven has a rich history. Knowledge and passion has been passed down from generation to generation This shop is not a conventional shop – the owners of Arven have created a space where customers not only can see and buy pieces, but also watch how they are made. The premises are divided in two by a large glass wall,

with the shop and showroom on one side and the factory on the other. This allows customers to get a unique insight into the making of the different products, and allows them to talk and collaborate with the craftspeople first hand. – The most important thing for us is that our customers get a closer look at the production and and a better understanding of our cultural heritage. We still use some of the same equipment used by our silversmiths over a hundred years ago. We have a great passion for everything we do, and I think the customers really appreciate that about us, Lilli-Anne says. DESIGN COLLABORATIONS Every single piece at Arven is made by hand. The gold- and silversmiths can make anything, customizing your every wish or need. www.bergensentrum.no

Ad for Platou

All set for your next adventure While visiting Norway, there’s no reason to stay indoors. Platou Sport has over a hundred years of experience with products and advice on how to make you ready for all types of hikes and mountain sports.

latou Sport was established in Bergen in 1918, and is one of the oldest sporting retailers in Norway. Since then, they have specialized in clothing and equipment for the great outdoors.

The store is located in Bergen’s city center in the same venue as it was established over a hundred years ago. Here, it lies nestled in between the seven mountains surrounding Bergen. – If it wasn't for the mountains, this store would not exist. We live and breathe for the outdoors, and our main goal is to get people out into nature, manager Bjarte Birkeland says. UNDERSTANDING THE CUSTOMER’S NEEDS The main focus at Platou Sport has always been to deliver high quality goods and service. They are the link between their

Manager at Platou Sport, Bjarte Birkeland.

conscious consumers, and their high quality manufacturers. Many of Platou’s employees have been in the industry for over 30 years. – We spend a lot of time understanding and knowing our customer’s needs. We know that the experience will get a lot better if you have the right equipment. Like shoes that fit well, that won’t give you blisters. Jackets that keep you warm and dry, and tents that can endure all kinds of weather, Birkeland says. At Platou Sport, you can get equipment for all types of mountain sports. They carry brands like Arc'Teryx, Norrøna, Fjällräven, Patagonia, Houdini, Icebreaker, Oakley, Salomon, Osprey, Hoka, La Sportiva, Black Diamond and many more. BE PREPARED As beautiful and enticing as the mountains may seem, the weather in Bergen can be very unpredictable, and the hikes can therefore become challenging. – We aspire to give the best advices we can, regarding all kinds of trips. For people who are new to hiking in Bergen, we recommend that they dress according to the conditions. Also, they should be prepared for sudden changes in weather conditions. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY Platou operates with the saying “quality over quantity”, according to the store manager. They want to sell products that are going to be used a lot, not just hang unused in a closet.

40 | byLIV

– We don't want to sell people products that they don't actually need. If they are only going on a short trip, we usually recommend that they borrow sacks or sleeping bags before they make a purchase here. GOING THE EXTRA MILE During the summer, manager Birkeland informs, Platou sells a lot of hiking clothing, tents, towels and hiking shoes. – Hiking shoes with spikes can be worn all year round as they give you a good grip on slippery surfaces. They are waterproof, very light and can also be used on asphalt. Fuel and gas for backpacking stoves are also very popular during this season, and the manager doesn't hesitate to go the extra mile to make his customers happy. – We do get some requests from customers on Sundays who want to go on a hike and cook food, but couldn't get gas for their stove with them on the plane. We then deliver as much gas as they need directly to their hotel, Birkeland says. ▗ www.bergensentrum.no

This tight bound to nature might be one of the reasons why we Norwegians drink more than 12 million cups of coffee every single day.

Laila had a passion for the restaurant industry, while her husband, who had lived six months in Italy, wanted to open a deli that sold quality cheese and cured meats.

This resulted in a twofold concept with a gourmet restaurant and a deli in the basement. In 2013 they shut down the restaurant, and opened a new one in Kong Oscars gate 44. The restaurant also changed their name

to Colonialen 44. Last fall they wanted to reinvent the concept and create a more simple and down to earth restaurant. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; We made a simpler four-course menu. 44 has a strong focus on food and wine in combination that will create a tasteful experience. With a solid wine list with several hundred wines, and a range of different biodynamic and natural wine, the possibilities are many, Skorge says. In the same house as Colonialen 44, with its own entrance, is their food and wine

bar. They share their wine list with 44, and plays with tastes and dishes from all over the world. The dark wooden furniture and green plants create a warm atmosphere, and the large wooden bar in the centre can fit up to 30 people. SEASONAL AND LOCAL PRODUCE Laila and Ken Petter has expanded their concept a lot over the years, and now own three restaurants, two delis and one bakery. The newest addition to the family is www.bergensentrum.no

generous dishes inspired by Nordic and continental traditions.

The location offers a gorgeous view of the fjord – nicely framed by the city mountains. With glass walls on all sides, this is a magical place to sit. Here you can escape the weather on rough days, and when the sun is shining, Colonialen Kranen has a large outdoor dining area, right on the seafront.

– All the food is made from scratch in all our restaurants, and there are great chefs in every kitchen. It’s always rustic, and never any quick solutions. This is a craftsmanship. At Litteraturhuset there is a large à la carte menu to choose from, as well as a large breakfast and lunch menu. All the dishes have a rustic spirit, but are inspired by the times. Now there is a strong desire for vegetarian food, and that influences the menu. But here, the packaging will always be rustic home cooking and everyday food, says Skorge.

The concept consists of classic but modern low-threshold food, seasonal with a focus on local produce. – The crane is a more playful place where we play with flavors and combinations to a greater extent. Here we have a creative kitchen that experiments with different menus. Here we also lead a concept called “the kitchen decides” where one can choose between hungry or a little hungry. The guests don’t know what they will be served, but can clearly set limits for allergies and what they do not like, Skorgen comments.

If you are looking for good quality cheeses and cured meats, the delis in both

– VilVite has no age limit, as we have different activities that are great for any age. Our main goal is for people to have fun while learning at the same time. A day here at VilVite is the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with your friends and family, says Wolff.

A CREATIVE SUMMER VilVite is going to focus on creativity this summer. At Skaperhagen, The Creative Garden, you can use your imagination to create solutions to different tasks. – Here, we focus on knowledge for the future, and how to solve problems that don’t have any definite solutions. At Skaperhagen, there is no such thing as a bad idea, and you can try and fail, and try again as many times as you like, Wolff replies. Until the fall of 2019, you can enjoy the Project Imagination–exhibit at VilVite. This exhibition consists of installations made from ideas of children. Try 11 genius inventions to solve some of the big issues affecting the world today, made by our future generation.

EXPLORE THE SECRETS OF THE SEA VilVites newest attraction is the Ocean Space who will be completed this summer.

– By using research and technology we can learn even more about the secrets of the ocean. In Ocean Space you can deep dive, navigate around and complete tasks under the sea, says Wolff. With the Ship simulator, you can see how we can live and work out in the ocean in the future. They also have a room for blowing soap bubbles. Make soap bubbles large enough to encircle you! – You can also get in touch with the communication robot, Robert. Can you get him to mimic you?, Wolff ads.

try experiments are always a big part of the program. – This summer the fascinating show ChemistryMagic invites you to experience the magic of chemistry. It may leave you wonder; how can this be?, Wolff says. TIME FOR A BREAK If you feel the hunger coming on from a whole day of science, you will find the cafe Lanternen on the backside of the building. The cafe Søtt+Salt lies on the first floor, offering tasty dishes. – VilVite also has a great science shop. We wish to have a store with products that inspire and challenge, and a selection of products that stand out from other stores, Wolff says. If you wish for some fresh air during the visit there is a public park right beside the science center. There is also a small beach close by, if you wish to take a dip in the water. It’s easy to get to the science center, just take the Bergen Light Rail to Florida station, and then it’s just a five minute walk. ▗

Alan Stillman opened the first bar as a way to meet ladies It all began quite modestly when an unmarried New York City perfume salesman named Alan Stillman wanted to meet the stewardesses that lived in his neighborhood.

Fun facts

about TGI Friday’s Friday’s is known today as a casual family-friendly establishment, but it actually started out as a swinging cocktail bar on the Upper East Side.

FIRST EVER “Happy Hour” The first official “Happy Hour” took place at the original TGI Friday’s on 63rd and First in New York City in 1965. Alan Stillman thought people who worked hard all day deserved discounted food and drinks after a long day’s work.

Almost all TGI-locations has a propeller and a rowing scull The rowing scull was introduced in 1974, and symbolizes teamwork, meaning you can’t win if you don’t row together. The propeller symbolically “propel” the restaurant.

Friday’s offer a lunch menu before 15:00 every weekday, a large variety of tasty desserts and a varied kids menu with puzzles and prizes. TGI Friday’s cocktail bar is the perfect way to both start and end the night. Their bartenders are known for their friendly personality and high-quality cocktails.

They made it easy to be single and mingle The first Friday’s was established in 1965 in New York City. Before that, there were no places where groups of young single girls could go out for a casual meal and drinks. Now, there was a relaxed place where groups of young men and women could mingle. The first location enjoyed immediate success, and first year revenues totaled $1 million.

TGI FRIDAY'S OFFERS A WIDE SELECTION OF DISHES, AND HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE TGI Friday’s is an informal and pleasant restaurant for the whole family, and for all occasions. Whether its a quick lunch with colleagues, a dinner with family and friends, or for celebrations of any sort. Their American-inspired menu is large and varied with everything from tasty burgers, juicy spare ribs, tender steaks, fresh salads or tasty pastas. And as a true American diner their portions are rich.

Ad for TGI Friday’s

They brought restaurants to the moon Well, almost: Friday’s opened the Houston Galleria on July 24th, 1973, and seven astronauts, led by Alan Shepard – the first American in space – attended the grand opening.

They had recordbreaking flair The first TGI Friday’s Bartender Championship was held in 1991. The now-massive competition involves 10.000 bartenders from around the world. On March 28, 2010, TGI Friday’s in the UK set a new Guinness World record of simultaneous bar flair. Over 100 world-class professional bartenders from Friday’s restaurants across the UK participated in this tremendous feat. They set the record with a skillful routine of 101 people flairing in sync, without dropping a bottle, for over two minutes in London’s Covent Garden.

TGI Fridays became the first American casual dining restaurant to open in Moscow, Russia in 1998.

Smoothies and non-alcoholic options In 1984, Friday’s became one of the first chain restaurants to introduce smoothies, “flings”, and non-alcoholic drinks. They did so to celebrate the 1984 Summer Olympics, because Olympians probably shouldn't drink while their training.

They were credited for inventing potato skins

Friday’s was portrayed in the movie “Cocktail” In 1975, two bartenders at the New York City TGI Friday’s decided it wasn’t enough to simply make drinks. They wanted to make it a show, so they began spinning and twirling bottles while the art of making drinks went to a new level. The crowds loved it, and later Hollywood loved it and portrayed Friday’s in the movie “Cocktail”.

First in Russia

If you love loaded potato skins, you can thank Friday’s for that. After months of testing in the kitchen, the dish was introduced in 1974, and became an all-time favorite.

The guided tours are offered in different languages in the summer months. THE HISTORIC ASSEMBLY ROOMS The buildings of Schøtstuene are original, reconstructed and copies of the assembly rooms used by The Hanseatic League. With a community consisting of nearly 2000 men (and men only!), these merchants played a very important role in the international stock fish trade. The Hanseatic league lived and worked in Bergen for over 300 years. The living quarters at Bryggen, currently closed for restoration, is also where they stocked the dried fish. The assembly rooms were the only place where the Hanseatic could have open fire.

86 | byLIV

Very understandable as the danger of fire was imminent and all the houses were made of wood! Therefore, hot meals could only be prepared and eaten here. In the assembly rooms they also had game nights, their court room and their school. A TIME TRAVEL THROUGH HISTORY Walking through these historic buildings, you really get the feeling of how it was living here hundreds of years ago. Can you feel their presence, smell the salt from the sea and perhaps a hint of the stock fish? Bryggen and the Hanseatic Warf is one of Bergen's and Norway's main attractions.

“For we know we’re homeward bound, hurrah, we’re homeward bound” – The shanty song resounds between Bergen’s seven mountains as the tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl returns home – locals hurry to the harbour and watch proudly as the old school ships docks.

tatsraad Lemkuhl is one of many ships that constitutes an important piece of Bergen’s rich maritime history. Ever since the founding of the city, life and work has been centred around the sea.

The Bergen Maritime Museum, located at t h e university campus, presents Bergen’s maritime history – only a short walk from the Fish Marked. An historic timeline leads the way though the museum, starting with the Viking era. A true highlight is the remains and a model of the Viking battleship from Kvalsund dating back to the year 700 A.D. The ship was found broken in a marsh at Kvalsund, western Norway in 1920. The archaeologist working on the project was no other than Haakon Shetelig, whose name is now reflected on the street sign outside the museum. IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL TRANSPORT Continuing the timeline, we approach the era of the steamers and later commercial passenger routes. For Norway, with its long coastline and challenging weather, the many boats and ships sailing along the coast have

been a lifeline, from port to port – south to north. Standing out is Hurtigruten, the Costal Express: These passenger and cargo ships depart from Bergen and sail along the coast from Bergen to Kirkenes, carrying medicine, food and supplies. Starting up in 1893, this route is still active with daily departures from Bergen. Most famous to tourists, Hurtigruten is a way to see Norway’s beautiful coastline, and may be enjoyed as an 11 day round trip. At the museum you can see the original 1st class “smoking lounge” from Hurtigruten’s ship Finmarken dating back to 1912. A sense of luxury guaranteed! PROUD TALL SHIPS The tall ships have played an important part in the history of the city, making Bergen a thriving city, filled with merchants, seamen and sailors from all over Europe! At the museum you can enter the original deckhouse of Bergen’s most famous tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl. You can also have a peek at the radio room and pilot cabin! WORLD WAR II Most European countries were hit hard by World War II, and Norway was no exception suffering under the German occupation.

At the time, Norway was one of the world’s leading shipping nations, and at the museum you are given an insight into life at sea during war time, World War II in particular.

COLOURING

ne of the artists who have colored the streets of Bergen is M.u.M, a graphic designer and mural artist from Chile, now living in Bergen. One of his most renowned works is The Mother, that you can view when you take the Bergen light rail towards Nygård.

– I like to paint colorful murals that usually spread messages of peace and love. What inspires me the most for sure is nature, fantasy and things happening on this planet that I think are important to create con-

the streets sciousness around, so that we can become a better society coexisting respectfully with nature, the artist writes to byLIV through an email, stating that he would like to remain anonymous. A WIDE VARIETY Street art has had a huge development in Bergen over the last years. Some say Bergen is

Text by: Martine Haugen

The streets of Bergen have become the city’s new art scene. Norway’s street art capital, which is difficult to determine as there is a lot of good street art in both Lofoten, Oslo and Stavanger. But what is so special about Bergen is that they have a lot of local and active street artists in the community today. – I feel that Bergen and its people are quickly opening up to, and enjoying graffiti.

in galleries, taking on missions to decorate both hotels, companies, universities and hospitals.

g M.u.M “The Mother” Photo by: M.u.M.

These last couple of four to five years, I’ve seen an interesting development of the street art movement, comprising throw-ups, pasteups, stencils, pieces and even amigurumis, M.u.M states, and continues: – Bergen has a wide variety of street artists, and dedicated street art collaborators in the form of photographers, bloggers, gallerists, entrepreneurs, collectors and general enthusiasts. All of them playing an important role in the promotion of Bergen as a street art reference for Norway and the rest of the world. QUESTIONING SOCIETY In the late 90’s, Banksy, who then was unknown to most people, came to visit Bergen. He stayed for three days, and in that time created 16 pieces in Bergen’s city center. Unfortunately, none of the pieces have been preserved. Even though his work is gone, he has still inspired new generations. AFK (Away From Keyboard) is another artist who has made his mark in Bergen. He’s an anonymous street artist who is known for his stencils inspired by politics, and focuses on social criticism. Most of his works can be found in and around Bergen’s city center. AFK is also part of a bigger street art community in Bergen, and has displayed his art at the gallery BART, among other.

HIDDEN GEMS You can find graffiti, paste-ups and stencils hidden on a lot of walls and corners both in and around Bergen’s city center. From Danmarks plass, and along the Bergen light rail, to Sentralbadet and Skostredet. A whole wall alongside The Faculty of Psychology has been painted to put light on all the children in need as the result of the war in Syria. The artist AFK has decorated the wall on a mission from PsycAid, and all the proceeds would go to Unicef ’s work in Syria. Skostredet is a charming street, known for its music and small niche stores such as restaurants, cafes, and interior and clothing stores. It is also one of the streets where you will find a lot of colorful street art. It started with a wall just across from the Literature house, and continued growing. In this neighborhood you will also find M.u.M’s piece called A troll in Bergen. FROM TRASH TO TREASURE The view on street art has changed, and street artists who traditionally made art in the shelter of darkness, are being accepted as artists with their own walls to decorate. Bergen municipality has also allocated money to street art projects. – But even with all this network and hard work behind it all, we are still far away from Berlin, Paris, Miami and even Stavanger. I feel that people’s mind has shifted drastically from associating street art with vandalism, to

JOY started making street art in Bergen back in 2013. His joyful, funny motives will make you stop and think. Since he started, he has grown a lot, and now sells his art

appreciating it as something beautiful and valuable. What I feel needs to start changing now in Bergen is the bureaucratic system. Especially the communal cultural department, and the public roads administration. Both could do better in creating space for street art in the form of promotion, sponsorship and permissions, M.u.M says, and adds: – But let’s give it time. Until then, I know that my fellow artists, and myself will continue doing what we love the most! ▗

From FJORD to FORK Ad for Pink Fish

Pink Fish is an innovative Norwegian fast-casual chain founded in 2017 by gold medal winner of the Bocuse d’or (World Chef Championship), Geir Skeie, and Ronny Gjøse , the company’s CEO, with an extensive background from developing F&B concepts.

In other words, deciding on what dishes to try can be a rather challenging task!

world of flavors to the salmon “The choice of salmon as the star of our menu is our most important sustainability decision. Of all the proteins we could have chosen, salmon is the most sustainable. The carbon footprint per kilo farmed salmon consumed is consider ably lower than in all comparable meats”, say the two co-founders of Pink Fish. Pink Fish only use ASC-certified salmon, which means it is produced in accordance with strict sustainability standards set by WWF and the farming industry – and it is only fed with feed free from antibiotics, GMO and palm oil. In addition, all packaging used is biodegradable and food waste close to zero, due to ordering and delivery routines tailor made to avoid produce expiring and all food is made to order.

Ad for Julehuset

Christmas spirit all year round Yanne Bazin from France has managed the Christmas and souvenir shop Julehuset at Bryggen for eleven years now, and still finds the job rewarding. – It is very fun, and I get to speak to people from all over the world, she says. Written by Vibeke Blich Photos by Emilie Gundersen

he shop Julehuset is one of four Audhild Viken-shops situated at Bryggen in Bergen. This particular shop has three floors, whereas the top floor displays Christmas-decorations all year round. In the two bottom floors you find more typical Norwegian souvenirs. – It’s a mix of souvenirs and a Christmas shop. From October to January we only have Christmas things in the shop. A lot of people come to us to buy their Christmas decoration every year, also the locals, Bazin says.

ALL YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS … Christmas tree ornaments are popular items among the visiting customers – regardless of whether it’s June or December.

– Ornaments with motifs of Bergen are extremely easily sold. Also, many customers ask for Christmas ornaments with a particular year printed on it, Bazin says. According to the manager, people often collect the Christmas tree ornaments, give them away as presents, or need new ones because an old one is broken. Many of the city’s locals have a tradition of visiting the shop every year to buy 24 small gifts for their children’s advent calendar, Bazin says. This time of year, there’s mostly tourists who visit the shop. Many of them don’t seem to lack the Christmas spirit as little Santa’s, angels and reindeers change hands over the counter ever so often. – We get new products every year. We have our own wooden production and also produce our own Christmas ornaments, Bazin explains. TRADITION IS EVERYTHING Julehuset opened in 1993. According to Bazin, little has changed since.

– The interior has changed a little bit, but the stairs and floors are crooked. People who come in from cruise ships, still feel like they are at sea when they walk in here, she giggles. Here, people from all over the world stop by. It tends to be crowded all day from May to August. According to the manager, up to 20.000 people come to Julehuset in just one working day. – During the summer we need a lot of employees at work. We are open from 9-23 as the cruise ship-passengers tend to shop late. Luckily, we receive a schedule of all the cruise ship arrivals so we can be prepared for anything! Bazin says. ▗

THEN: National telegraph and phone centre NOW: Shopping centre and office spaces

THEN: Indoor market place NOW: Restaurants and bars

The building Telegrafen lies in Starvhusgaten 4 in Bergen’s city center. The main facade is turned toward the Bergen light rail and the music pavilion.

Kjøttbasaren, the meat bazaar in English, is located in the beginning of Bryggen in Bergen. The building was approved in 1874, and designed by the Norwegian architect Fredrik Von der Lippe. Then, the building was called the city's bazaar, and was opened on the first of July 1877. It was the only one of its kind in Norway, and housed 44 stalls selling products, and 27 stalls in the basement.

Originally, Telegrafen housed the National Telegraph and Telephone service, and was completed in 1927 in a neoclassical style. It was drawn by the two architects Finn Berner and Anton M. Kielland, after the Bergen fire of 1916. Telegrafen is among the most architecturally distinctive buildings that was built after the fire, and the facade features brick with marble detailing. In 2002, the building was refurbished. Today, the shopping mall Telegrafen occupies the first floor, and the top three floors house office spaces. Today, the building is listed, and therefore protected.

Kjøttbasaren was originally constructed to control the trade that took place on the square, and to control the turnover of foods in regards to cheating and hygiene. In 1879, the city's library moved into the loft, and stayed there until 1917. Also, different municipal agencies have had their offices in the city’s bazaar over the years.

Børsbygningen i Bergen, the stock exchange building, was the central meeting place for business in the county of Hordaland in the 1800’s. Here, prices and exchange rates were noted, especially regarding grain and fish, and people could keep themselves updated on national and worldwide affairs through journals and newspapers. The stock exchange also housed a library. Børsbygningen, the stock building, was drawn by architect Franz Wilhelm Schiertz in 1862. In the period between 1918 and 1923, the Norwegian painter Axel Revold got the task to decorate the hall. The fresco painting was called Verket, and portrayed Bergen city center as a place for international trading. Since Bergen Børs opened in 1862, it has also – among other things – housed the city’s bank, offices, a bike repair shop, a furniture store, and the tourist office. Today, you will find a collective of restaurants on the premises. Matbørsen serves dishes inspired by the whole world, through different restaurant concepts. In 2017, the luxury Hotel Bergen Børs opened their doors, together with Bare Restaurant and Bar.

From 1894-95 the city bazaar was rebuilt after drawings by engineer Hans Sparres, and the name was changed to Kjødbazaren. In 1986, the building was conserved. The Meat Bazaar was completely renovated and reopened in the 1990's, and today it houses Restaurant 1877, Biblioteket Bar, Starbucks and Egon.

Shapes & Shadows Origami, and plays with light, shadows, shapes and colour to create beautiful paper lamps.

– I've always had a fascination with paper. It became a natural call both through my master's degree in visual communication at the Art and Design College in Bergen, and through my company “Shapes & Shadows”, to find ways to use this great and flexible natural material, she says.

– The reason why I have mainly developed lamps is that I decided early on that I wanted to develop products that people could use over pure art.
