Malta at War Museum

This would have been a common historical museum if it wasn’t for the guided tour of the underground air raid shelter. That was definitely a highlight of the whole experience. The guide was so passionate and knowledgeable and left us with big impressions. He explained in detail all the parts of the shelter. Definitely worth going.

The museum itself is good, but the tour given by Umberto of the shelter was excellent. He brought a sobering reality to the use of the shelter, whilst approaching sensitive topics in a delicate way. I would recommend that anybody visiting dedicates time to listening to his tour, and exploring the shelter.

Great to be able to explore on your own after going on the shelter tour .a historical place definitely recommend a visit great for children to explore 👍

Malta war musium is the best place for kids and family doing new adventures and new experiences . My kids very happy and fun enjoy it all the story inside the musium. Honestly even as adult we can feel it how the story goes long time ago.

Went here and had a great time. Great view and great collection of war memorabilias. At a small entry fee, the place is rich in history. It was also well organised and manned with helpful staffs to guide you. The rooms to visit are numbered so you don’t get lost. In the heat, it is also cooling. The memorabilias from the past wars were rich in history described by information and background details. Def a must when in Malta. The view up top is just breathtaking. Mushy be limiting and a challenge if with pram or on wheelchair due to stairs.

We really enjoyed our visit at War Museum in Malta! Umberto is very knowledgeable and just says things as they are! Loved the experience and wish to have more time to explore the war rooms further.

This museum serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of wartime life, especially as the world seems to be on the brink of renewed global conflict. The narrow, claustrophobic passages of the underground shelters evoke a sense of unease that feels both foreign and haunting to our modern generation, who have not experienced the trials faced by those in the 1940s. From what I gather, the Maltese turned to God and Jesus Christ for spiritual hope and faith during these tumultuous times, with numerous accounts of "miracles of war" highlighting their experiences of protection and refuge. This underscores the idea that enduring hardship and adversity, when rooted in genuine hope for salvation in Christ, fosters resilience and strength. This museum looks to the past to remember the sober realities but for me, it is a serious reminder of the perils of evil men that have no fear of God.

Excellent museum, highly recommended. The tour of the air raid shelter was a real highlight. Our guide Umberto was so knowledgeable and passionate about the war, his compassion for the suffering of the civilians was clear to see. I would definitely recommend a visit, it's so informative and it helps support this fantastic piece of history. Thank you Umberto.
