About this tour
This call covers the KODE museum buildings around Lille Lungegårdsvannet without a live camera visit, built around Jorunn's training in art history. She describes what each building currently holds and how the collection connects to Edvard Grieg's wider legacy. The conversation moves naturally toward her second session at his home outside the city.
She starts with an overview of the four buildings and what is on this season, then narrows toward whichever artist or period interests you most. She checks in partway through and adjusts the rest of the call accordingly.
This suits anyone planning a museum visit who wants context first. It also works well before Jorunn's live session at Troldhaugen, since the two are built to connect.

- A 45-minute call with a local guide

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Bergen: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.

No. The guide explains what matters as you go, whatever you already know or do not.
