Hafnarborg preserves the art collection of the town of Hafnarfjörður and organizes research and exhibitions of it, so that the public may enjoy the works and that they become a visible part of Iceland’s cultural and art history. Hafnarborg also runs an international artist-in-residence programme for artists from around the world. All of this is done to contribute to an enjoyable, creative, and diverse community life in Hafnarfjörður.
Hafnarborg operates in accordance with its own charter and policies, the cultural policy of Hafnarfjörður, Icelandic museum laws, and the code of ethics of the International Council of Museums (ICOM).
