Malta Maritime Museum
Museo Marítimo de Malta
Malta Maritime Museum (Ex-Naval Bakery, Vittoriosa Waterfront, Vittoriosa, Valetta) — housed within the Old Naval bakery, the Malta Maritime Museum charts Malta’s maritime history and lore within a Mediterranean context. It also illustrates the global nature of seafaring and its impact on Malta’s society. The museum houses numerous artifacts highlighting the different epochs of Malta’s history that is inadvertently tied to the sea. Constant donations have been made over the years by the Maltese general public, foreign individuals, companies, corporate bodies, foreign maritime and naval museums, foreign navies, and Maltese and foreign ambassadors and high commissioners to expand its collection. This is a large achievement when one considers that the museum didn’t even have one single artifact in 1988. Today the museum houses a unique collection of over 20,000 artifacts belonging to Malta’s Maritime past.
