In collaboration with the City of Uppsala and Uppsala Art Museum, Hafnarborg presents an exhibition of select works from its collection, opening on Saturday, April 12th at 2 p.m., at Uppsala Castle. Titled From Saga to Present (Swedish: Från saga till samtid), the exhibition celebrates the longstanding partnership between the twin towns of Hafnarfjörður and Uppsala. Later this year, as part of this exhibition exchange, a corresponding show will open at Hafnarborg, showcasing artworks from Uppsala’s municipal art collection. The project is supported by the Museum Fund.
The exhibition in Sweden features works by Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson, Tinna Gunnarsdóttir, Guðjón Ketilsson, Jónína Guðnadóttir, Rúna, Marinó Thorlacius, Astrid Kruse Jensen, Gurli Elbækgaard, Eiríkur Smith, Guðmundur Thoroddsen, Margrét Sveinsdóttir, Guðný Magnúsdóttir, Hallgerður Hallgrímsdóttir, Edda Jónsdóttir and Kogga.
The exhibition committee comprises Aldís Arnardóttir, Hólmar Hólm, Mikaela Granath and Tove Otterclou.
The exhibition will remain on view through June 8 and we warmly encourage all those who live in the area, or passing through the city, to visit Uppsala Art Museum and experience the show.
