Art education has long traditions in Bergen, as the first school of art was established there in 1772, modelled on the Academy of Art in Copenhagen. 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 dates to 1909.{{cite web |url=https://kmd.uib.no/en/about-the-faculty-of-fine-art-music-and-design/khibs-history |title=KHiB's history |website=kmd.uib.no}} |

Strømgaten 1, which previously housed Bergen Technical School, was protected by regulations on 25 June 2013. The building was designed by Giovanni Müller and built in the years 1874–76. In 2017, all facilities were co-located in Møllendalsveien in a new purpose-built building designed by [[Snøhetta (company)|Snøhetta]].
