About

Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum is a stunning 13th‑century palazzo located in the heart of Mdina, Malta’s ancient capital. The grand residence once housed Captain Olof Gollcher, a Swedish philanthropist, and now houses the extensive Olof Gollcher Collection, featuring artifacts from Europe and the Mediterranean spanning the 15th to the 20th centuries – from furniture and jewelry to manuscripts and rare coins. The museum offers visitors a unique blend of historic architecture and curated collections, with multi‑language audio guides available in Maltese, English, Italian, French, German, and Spanish. The museum welcomes visitors Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00, with special exhibitions and events showcased throughout the year. Children aged six to twelve enter free when accompanied by an adult, while a separate roof‑top Gustav Café—open 10:30 to 16:00—provides panoramic views of Mdina and a 10 % discount on refreshments for museum visitors. Whether you’re a history buff, an art lover, or a family looking for a cultural immersion, Palazzo Falson offers an unforgettable journey through Malta’s rich heritage, enriched by immersive displays, engaging educational resources, and the charm of a living historic house.
