Our Museum Pieces
Discover the standout treasures that bring Malta’s history to life in our featured exhibits.
The Water Pump
The Sienja, a traditional Maltese water pump, used a mule or donkey to power its wooden gears and chains, drawing water from deep wells to irrigate fields.
The Maltese Tomb
Carved into the rock, this sacred resting place was often small and unadorned, reflecting the simplicity of life and death in times past.
The Kitchen
Stone walls and a well-worn hearth speak to a time when meals were prepared over open flames, using fresh ingredients from the land.
