The Academic Quarter

The Academic Quarter ("Det Akademiske Kvarter") has an old surface, but an entirely new interior. It is situated in the very centre of Bergen, within walking distance of both the main shopping areas and the University of Bergen. The house was formerly the property of the University, but was given over to the students to be the cultural centre of student activities in Bergen in 1993. At that time, the house's interior was completely rehabilitated. There are now several pubs, a small café, one large auditorium and several smaller. In short, perfect for hosting a medium-sized con like Quartercon.

Any reader proficient in a Scandinavian language will probably like to see The Quarter's own homepage. It is unfortunately only available in Norwegian. Once there, unless they've changed things recently, you'll find out where the picture on this page was lifted...
