Bergen Academy of Art and Design

[1][2] The education included the subject areas fine art, photography, printmaking, ceramics, textiles, visual communication, interior architecture and furniture design.

Bergen Academy of Art and Design was itself a young institution established in 1996, merged from two former institutions; Vestlandets kunstakademi which had been founded in 1972 and Statens høgskole for kunsthåndverk og design which is dated to 1909.

The academy had facilities in six different buildings in Bergen centre; in Strømgaten 1, Marken 37, Vaskerelven 8, Kong Oscars gate 62 and C. Sundts.

Strømgaten 1, which previously housed Bergen Technical School, was protected by regulations on 25 June 2013.

In 2017, all facilities were co-located in Møllendalsveien in a new purpose-built building designed by Snøhetta.
