If you enjoyed the recent Museums by Candlelight event in Birgu, we’ve got good news for you!

Heritage Malta has announced a new edition of Museums by Candlelight, this time in Valletta, which will take place on Saturday 6th June.

For €6, visitors can visit six museums and historical sites, from 7pm to midnight, all illuminated by candlelight and brought to life by music and live performances.

You can visit the National Museum of Archaeology, the newly restored Grand Master’s Palace, MUŻA – The National Community Art Museum, the Church of St Catherine of Italy, St John’s Co-Cathedral, and – for the first time – Fort St Elmo and the National War Museum.

General admission tickets, granting access to all six sites for just €6, can be purchased online or from any Heritage Malta museum or site. Heritage Malta members can enter free of charge, but pre-booking is required.
