Anyway, whether you are here because of the music of something else, it’s hard to miss Ole Bull’s statue at Ole Bulls Plass in centre of Bergen.
I found the following info about this famous person from Bergen:
Ole Bull 1810-1880
One of the greatest violin virtuosos of his time.
He was a violin solist of international repute. Born in Bergen, he travelled all over Europe and North America to give concerts. He sought to make the folk musik and culture of Norway more widely known. As a violin virtuoso, he was widely acclaimed for his brilliant improvisations, and for the rich tone of his play. Around 1860 he conceived the idea of a Norwegian Academy of Folk Music, but was never able to gain public sponsorship for this project.
And for the music freaks: be sure not to miss the Edvard Grieg Museum at Troldhaugen: www.troldhaugen.com Leave a Comment Address: Ole Bulls Plass

Lysøen Island
The beautiful and extraordinary villa on Lysøen (the Island of Light) was built as a summer residence for the Norwegian violin virtuoso Ole Bull (1810 - 1880) in 1873. Ole Bull’s charismatic personality and musical excellence had a great influence on contemporary artists. He spent his summers relaxing on Lysøen, and often invited fellow artists and musicians. Ole Bull also had created some 13 km of pathways to provide his guests with leisurely strolls through the lovely scenery of Lysøen. He died on the island in 1880. In 1973, his granddaughter Mrs. Sylvea Bull Curtis of Connecticut donated the villa and all its contents to the Society for the Preservation of Norwegian Ancient Monuments.
