Traveler reviews
Michael Sands
★★★★★a month agoamazing little art gallery. less community art than you’d expect. they had museum level artwork all throughout and some really old art from 3000bc! I’d very much recommend going. Most of the heritage malta sites are highly worth visiting. The gallery wasn’t busy at all when we went midday on a friday and it was a pretty big place to visit!

★★★★★11 months agoIf you’re visiting Valletta, I highly recommend stopping by MUŻA, the National Community Art Museum of Malta. It’s not a huge museum — you can see everything in about an hour and a half (or even an hour if you go quickly) — but it’s well worth the time. The collection is varied and engaging, featuring works by Maltese artists as well as international ones. You’ll find paintings, sculptures, and a range of interesting objects, all well-presented in a beautifully restored historic building. Overall, it’s a great way to experience Malta’s artistic heritage and see some truly lovely pieces of art without spending half a day. Definitely worth a visit while you’re in the area.
