Afternoon Tones in Hafnarborg
The trio of double bassist Hallur Guðmundsson will appear at the first Hafnarborg Afternoon Concerts of 2024. The trio, which he calls „Limp Kid Dances Tango“, features, alongside Hallur, Matthías Hemstock on drums and percussion, and Andrés Þór on guitar. The programme will feature new music by Harald Ægi, who recently released the album Tango for One. The music is Latin-inspired, and the album has received very good reviews since its release.

Nidra meditation
In Sverris Hall at Hafnarborg, where works by Þór Sigurþórsson are currently on display, a guided meditation with yoga teacher Anna Jóhannesdóttir will be offered, focusing on grounding, time and inner calm. In the exhibition, the artist works with found materials such as tent pegs, clock hands and newspapers, which have a strong connection to place and time. The event is suitable for visitors of all ages.

A guide to current exhibitions
A guided tour of the museum's current exhibitions will be offered with Aldís Arnardóttir, director of Hafnarborg. She will then lead guests through the exhibitions Flæðarmál, which surveys the career of Jónína Guðnadóttir, and Vísa, which features new works by Þór Sigurþórsson.
