Definitely worth a trip if you get the piano concert. The view during the concert is the same as the view Grieg had writing many of his works. Check out if there is a concert online. Limited guided tours during the Corona virus. Be prepared for a 20 minute walk if you take public transport.

As a music fan, visiting the home of Edvard Grieg was a fascinating experience. Even if you aren't really into music, this quaint spot is worth a trip for its historical significance and the charming beauty of the house and its surroundings. Especially fun was walking down the trail to the little cottage near the water where Grieg retreated to do much of his composing. There is also a nice concert hall overlooking the water for small-ensemble performances.
A small museum and house but very interesting insights into the life and work of Edvard Grieg. I was not aware of the musical work of Grieg, but soon realised that many of his pieces are very well known and enshrined into the collective knowledge. His political engagement and role into the definition of Norwegian culture is very interesting and still feels modern and relevant in our current political context. The cafe offers a small selection of beverage and food. Our family highlights were the composition shed, the house itself and the informative exhibition.
If you only do one museum around Bergen, then this should be the one. Excellent tour from Tourist centre in Bergen and knowledgeable guide to tell us about Greig's life both on the short coach trip out there and in the house. Just the right amount of time there to explore the grounds, see his grave by the sea and listen to a piano performance by a concert pianist and the beautifully constructed and acoustically excellent theatre.
The museum of Edvard Grieg was an astonishing experience! Excellent guides and very well structured place. A strong recommendation!
Actually I didn't visit the museum but I enjoyed the nature around. There is an amazing landscape view. I took several picture which I share. If you are going here with public transportation, you need to walk a little bit to reach this place.
Edvard Griegs home. Just visit! Check out for possible conserts! Something fantastic might happen exactly when you are there.....
Museum based around Greig's villa situated on the edge of a fjord outside Bergen. If you travel here on your own then it’s a tram ride and fairly long walk. There are tours operated by the museum and costing not much more than the entrance price that include transport from Bergen. If I’d known this I would have definitely gone for that option! There is also a small convert hall at the site. There are terrific lunchtime recitals here so do try and catch one. Also beautiful gardens.
