January 2, 2019 by forimmediaterelease.net -

MUŻA represents a significant development in the history of museums in Malta

MUŻA, the recently opened National Museum of Fine Art in Malta, represents a significant development in the history of museums in Malta. It is also the flagship project for Valletta’s European Capital of Culture title in 2018. This new national-community arts museum, housed in a historic building with over 20,000 works of art, seeks to present inspiring and engaging stories to tourists and Maltese residents alike.

MUŻA Museum is a self-sustainable, energy efficient institution with a potential zero-carbon footprint. The energy-efficient Museum, which is aided by the design and layout of the building, utilizes high energy-efficient power consumables, natural lighting, and renewable energy sources, like solar panels, to promote sustainability.

The word MUŻA, itself is an acronym which stands for Muzew Nazzjonali tal-Arti, (National Museum of Fine Arts). It also refers to the muses; the mythological figures from classical antiquity inspiring creativity and, in effect, the etymological source of the word museum. MUŻA is also the Maltese word for inspiration.

MUŻA is located at Auberge d’Italie, a historic site in Valletta, A UNESCO World Heritage site, where the first Malta Museum was established in 1924. The building was the historic seat of the Italian knights of the Order of St John dating back to the 16th Century.

In 1920 the building was also chosen as the seat of the Valletta Museum where the national collection, including what was then known as the fine arts section, was put on display. MUŻA strives to recognize the history of the collection of the Malta National Museum of Fine Arts, and the values which have shaped it over time.

December 4, 2018 by forimmediaterelease.net - Leave a Comment

The map highlights kid-tastic experiences

The Malta Tourism Authority’s series of themed ‘trails’ has a new addition; the Family Trail, which highlights a treasure trove of activities, sites and experiences for parents and children alike.

With an average of 300 days of sunshine a year, families can discover the islands’ history, natural landscapes, marine habitats, and parks, against an idyllic Mediterranean backdrop.

The map highlights kid-tastic experiences from adventures on quad bikes in Gozo, a Segway tour around Valletta, to pirate, fairy tale and Maltese Knights fancy dress opportunities for children at the Playmobil Funpark. Additional tourist attractions include:

• Esplora Interactive Science Centre – overlooking the Grand Harbour, the center brings science to life through hands-on activities, workshops and performances. A planetarium, outdoor adventure experience, activity center and exhibition hall cater to all ages and interests.

• Malta 5D – families will discover more about Malta’s extensive history in this multi-sensory 3D film with moving seats, air and water blasts.

• Malta National Aquarium – the archipelago is the number one destination for diving in Europe, but for families who’d like to stay dry whilst exploring what lies beneath the Maltese waters, the aquarium showcases Malta’s western shoreline and Valletta’s Harbor.

• Mellieha Bay, Malta and Ramla Bay, Gozo – the longest sandy beaches on Malta and Gozo, stretching 800m across each, are perfect for sandcastle building.
