Hafnarfjörður Institute of Culture and Fine Art Reykjavík

Hafnarborg, also known as the Hafnarfjordur Institute of Culture and Fine Art, was a gift from Sverrir Magnússon and his wife Ingibjörg Sigurjónsdóttir to the people of the region in 1983. The couple passed on not only their house, but also a variety of significant paintings and books – and the museum at Hafnarborg opened to showcase the collection in mid 1988. Since it opened, other local artists and citizens have made gifts to grow the collection, and the city officials have made additional purchases.
