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