An Island at the Crossroads

Marking the completion of the first phase of the the Malta Maritime Museum project in Birgu, partly financed through the EEA Norway Grants 2014-2021, Heritage Malta has set up an impressive, one-of-a-kind temporary exhibition for a whole year inside the museum.

‘An Island at the Crossroads’ delves into Malta’s strategic location in the Mediterranean, revealing a tapestry of tales shaped by the sea’s impact on the island nation and its identity. The artefacts on exhibit tell a compelling story about love, conflict, and the difficulties experienced by those who crossed the sea for a fresh start.

This immersive and state-of-the-art exhibition opens on the 9th of February 2024 at the Malta Maritime Museum, Birgu.
