About
The mission of Hafnarborg – the Hafnarfjörður Centre of Culture and Fine Art is to maintain dynamic and ambitious cultural functions, thereby creating grounds for diverse cultural life in the town. Hafnarborg therefore preserves Hafnarfjörður’s art collection, being responsible for research into and exhibitions of said collection for the benefit of the town’s guests and residents, as well as ensuring that this heritage continues to be a prominent part of Icelandic culture and art history. In addition, Hafnarborg runs an international artist-in-residence programme. Hafnarborg operates in accordance with the charter and cultural policy of Hafnarfjörður, Icelandic museum laws, and the protocol of ICOM – the International Council of Museums.
