Hafnarborg

The Hafnarborg center maintains a substantial collection of artworks and regularly presents exhibitions featuring both Icelandic and international contemporary artists throughout the year.

Founded in 1983, Hafnarborg originated from chemist Sverrir Magnússon and Ingibjörg Sigurjónsdóttir's donation of their residence and art collection to the town of Hafnarfjörður.

The museum organizes monthly classical music concerts during winter, along with lectures, seminars, and workshops that connect artists with the local community.

Located at Strandgata 34, the museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday through Monday between 12:00 and 17:00, offering guided tours in both Icelandic and English.

The building, designed by Guðjón Samúelsson in 1921, initially served as a pharmacy before transforming into a cultural institution with an international artist residency program.

Opening Hours: Wednesday-Monday 12:00-17:00
