This summer, Hafnarborg invites children aged 6–12 to take part in creative art workshops, where imagination takes the lead. Participants will have the opportunity to explore their surroundings in an artistic way, take inspiration from the museum’s exhibitions and engage in a variety of creative projects.

Emphasis is placed on playfulness and artistic creation, where the fundamentals of visual art are introduced through exploration, observation and experimentation. Children will work with various media – drawing, painting and sculpture – with the aim of strengthening visual perception, nurturing creative thinking and supporting personal expression.

Two five-day workshops and one four-day workshop will be offered, for two age groups: 6–9 and 10–12 years old. The workshop beginning on June 22nd will include a special music and singing component, in connection with the Hafnarborg Songfest, concluding with the children’s participation in a family concert on Friday June 26th at 5 p.m.

The following summer workshops are available:
