Om

Hurtige fakta: Over 20.000 maritime genstande fortæller historien om Maltas forhold til havet, fra fønikerne og frem til Anden Verdenskrig. Samlingen er så omfattende, at kun en brøkdel er udstillet til enhver tid, og resten opbevares i museets magasiner.

Højdepunkter: Museet holder til i Maltas gamle marinebageri, en bygning fra 1840'erne, som engang forsynede hele den britiske middelhavsflåde med brød, hele 26.000 brød om dagen. De originale bageovne står stadig tilbage i bygningen, og du kan se de enorme køkkenredskaber, som blev brugt til at mætte tusindvis af soldater.

Insidertips

Go straight to the bakery exhibition in the basement first, it is easy to miss and contains the original ovens from 1840.
Take the stairs all the way to the top for the view over Vittoriosa's harbor, a perfect photo subject in the afternoon light.
Combine the visit with a guided tour of Fort St. Angelo nearby, they are within walking distance of each other.
Set aside extra time for the model exhibition of old warships, it has over 50 detailed models with explanatory signs.
