Il-Ħaġar Museum, together with the Diocese of Gozo and Victoria’s Saint George’s Basilica and La Stella Philharmonic Society, is this year marking the first centenary of the passing of Mgr Giuseppe Farrugia (1852-1925), one of Gozo’s most eminent sons and benefactors, whose brilliance left an indelible mark on so many aspects of the life of the Gozitan community. He is celebrated for his extraordinary intellect, visionary outlook, and unparalleled talents.

To mark this important centenary, Il-Ħaġar Museum, in collaboration with several institutions, are presenting this exhibition which focuses on three exceptional facets of Farrugia’s genius: his mastery as a sought-after orator, his brilliance as a composer, and his visionary work in design and architecture. This exhibition will be inaugurated on Friday 7 February 2025 at 7.30 pm, and runs until the 31st of March.
