The new museum will be inaugurated on April 15th, 2012 which is the 70th anniversary from the awarding of the George Cross to Malta in 1942.
The Malta at War Museum in Birgu, is undoubtedly Malta’s best presented testimonial of the great ordeal suffered by the Island during the Second World War. The site focuses on the daily life of wartime Malta telling the story of how this spec of an island managed to withstand one of the fiercest onslaughts in modern history. It offers a unique experience to the visitor through a combination of original film-footage, expert guiding and much in the way of original artefacts and memorabilia, all of which are nicely presented in a new modern setting.
This Museum occupies the ground floor of the old casemated barracks within Couvre Port of Vittoriosa (Birgu) – The original main entrance into this city.
