Hafnarhús

Hafnarhús is a contemporary art museum in central Reykjavík spread across multiple floors with exhibition galleries on each level. The building presents changing shows and permanent collections throughout the year in its connected spaces.

The building originally served as a harbor warehouse until the year 2000. A comprehensive renovation then transformed it into a modern exhibition space that became part of Reykjavik Art Museum.

The building regularly displays works by Icelandic pop artist Erró through rotating exhibitions that form a core part of its programming. His colorful paintings and playful style reflect how contemporary art speaks to local audiences.

The museum sits in the harbor district and is easy to reach on foot while walking through downtown. Opening hours follow a regular pattern, so checking times before visiting helps you plan your trip.

The building hosts rock concerts and poetry readings alongside its art exhibitions in a dedicated multipurpose room. This blend of different artistic forms makes the space a meeting point for varied creative expression.
