    We visited on Sunday,11th of Jan and the entrance was free.the museum itself is really unique and beautiful,check the exhibition, as in our case the museum was itself was much better. In any case worth visiting

  • Sophia Krietenbrink

    ★★★★★2 months ago

    A great place to see with modern architecture blending into the traditional lime stone walls. The open layout of the space is great. I imagine it must be amazing for statues but I also really like the exhibitions of paintings by Reggie Burrows Hodges that we saw. I especially appreciated that the artist dealt with Maltese phrases and the Maltese way of live.
