MUZA - The Malta National Community Art Museum

About

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.
