What to do and see in Island of Malta, Malta: The Best Art Galleries

This state of the art building is spread over four floors and is not your typical Postal Museum. It offers a run through of Maltese history from the 15th century. The Museum also boasts of two temporary gallery spaces, a large audio-visual room and merchandising store. The temporary gallery spaces currently offer a collection of photographic prints by Richard Ellis, and what is arguably the finest collection of works by Emvin Cremona, regarded by many as one of the best Maltese artists of the 20th century.

Iniala5 Gallery Valletta hosts high end contemporary art exhibitions by local and international established Artists. The space is located in the heart of the capital and caters for exclusive opening night events which are considered a gathering place for the art community and art lovers on the island. The gallery has a character of its own, designed to keep the buildings original aesthetic appeal.

A Small Curiosity Shop in the heart of the island’s Baroque Capital City. We do our utmost to exhibit a diverse range of Antiques, Collectables, and Curiosities, with the aim of bringing the past to the present. Everyone is welcome and we would love to discuss what you collect or what you dream of having. We are constantly changing to suit all tastes and our items range from the smallest curiosity to some of the greatest masters.

Blitz Valletta is a contemporary art space founded in 2013 in a typical Valletta townhouse, which was originally a family home. As a reference institution for international and Maltese art, Blitz Valletta organizes solo and group shows, conferences, workshops, and talks. Between 2015-18 it launched a residency project mentioned by ArtBasel and Tate Art Exchange Programme. Our latest exhibitions included solo shows of Rossella Biscotti, Sara Cwynar, Ahmet Ogut, Adelita Husni-Bey and Tobias Zielony; and a group show with nine international artists whose work delved into the challenges of language in a globalised world and the increasing role of emojis, gifs, memes, social media and video games in our lives. Free entrance.

At Christine X Art (Artitude) Gallery, we offer you a choice of some of Malta's best contemporary art pieces. From cityscapes to figural paintings to abstracts.

Set between the thick fortification walls of Malta's capital city is a charmingly unique space whose interior is lined with a selection of Victor Pasmore's works - a British modern contemporary artist who played a definitive role in developing the art of abstraction in 20th century England and, subsequently, in Malta. If ever you could come across a space exclusively dedicated to one artist - a pivotal one, to say the least - then this would be it.

The collection is laid out in sections inspired by stories grouped into four main themes being 'The Mediterranean', 'Europe', 'Empire' and 'The Artist'. The display is surprisingly unusual as it juxtaposes old masters with contemporary artworks, groups artworks and objects in ways similar to contemporary art installations, presents techniques on videos and interactive experiences complement objects and artworks on display. Key works by Italian, Neapolitan, French, Northern European and British artists feature together with those by important Maltese artists who played a major role in the development of Malta’s art history. Furthermore, MUŻA plays an active role in the contemporary artistic community through exhibitions and events.
