An exhibition about co-operative houses in Hafnarfjörður

The photography exhibition '30 Co-operative Houses in Hafnarfjörður' is currently on display on the site where the Kaupfélag Hafnfirðinga once stood – between the Fjarðar and Penninn shopping centres. The photographs on display are mainly of the buildings where co-operative activities have taken place, but the exhibition also tells the story of co-operation in the town.

The trade union Hlíf was an important player in this activity and is therefore prominently featured in the exhibition, having supported its installation. Furthermore, the exhibition received a cultural grant from the City of Hafnarfjörður in October 2019. Hafnarfjörður Museum of Local History provided the exhibition's organisers with some of the photographs that adorn the show. The exhibition will be open until the end of September and admission is free. All interested parties are encouraged to visit the exhibition and read the stories on the information cards that accompany the photographs. 

Applications are now open for the second 2020 cultural grant allocation.
