On Friday, February 6th, from 18:00–22:00, we invite guests to celebrate Museum Night with us at Hafnarborg, where a program connected to art, nature, and wellbeing will be on offer. Two events will take place at the museum during the evening, giving visitors the opportunity to observe artistic creation and enjoy a relaxing sound experience, as well as to visit the museum’s current exhibitions. Below is more information about Hafnarborg’s Museum Night program:

18:00–19:00
Flowers Take Shape – watch flowers being made
Within the ongoing exhibition by Eggert Pétursson, Doaa from Palestínublóm will create flowers from crepe paper in the exhibition space. The flower-making process is based on sensitivity to color and form, similar to what can be seen in Eggert’s works, where the smallest plants become grand landscapes on the picture plane. Visitors are invited to follow the process as handmade paper flowers take shape within the exhibition and enter into dialogue with the surrounding artworks.

19:00–20:00
Sound Waves – sound healing with Vala Gestsdóttir
Vala Gestsdóttir, composer, violist, and yoga teacher, leads a deeply relaxing session in Una Björg Magnúsdóttir’s site-specific installation. Through calming tones, guests are invited on a journey that activates the body’s energy flow and supports balance, presence, and inner calm through the healing power of music. Guests are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and to bring a mat, cushion, and blanket, and possibly an eye mask.

On Museum Night, most museums across the Capital Region open their doors late into the evening and invite visitors to experience exhibitions and events of many kinds. Hafnarfjörður’s cultural institutions, the Library, the Local Heritage Museum, and Hafnarborg, welcome guests as usual with a diverse and lively program. Admission to all museums and all events on the evening is free.
