MICAS — Malta International Contemporary Arts Space

I had never heard of this museum before, it only opened at the end of last year. The building itself is a beautiful combination of restored historical architecture and modern design. Visiting the exhibition of a Portuguese contemporary artist was a pleasant experience. There is a touch of nostalgia, because we really have something to remember. The staff was incredibly friendly 😁 - they are welcoming, communicative and made the experience warm. Of course, everyone has their own taste, but this was my sincere and personal impression.

A great new art space which I am sure will become one of the most popular in Malta. The combination of the old fortifications with modern art makes the experience even more unique! It’s good that it has the space for big installations. A coffee shop will definitely contribute to the whole experience 😊

A hidden gem of Malta :) spacious gallery, built especially for presenting huge installations and objects. Remember to check out outdoor exhibition spaces with Maltanese artists, they are hidden and without help, we wouldn't find it. During our visit, they also exhibited an artwork, which was firstly presented at Venice Biennale.

Wonderful space to see some excellent art installations. Remember to go down the slope to see the outside exhibits too.

Worth to visit. We were lucky to visit when Portuguese artist’s Joana Vasconselos exhibition took place. The space of building “melted” with amazing installations of the artist.

I was skeptical at first - I never thought I’d see the day Malta would have a space like this for large scale installation art. The Joana Vasconcelos show is amazing. Security were nice and pointed out some things and made sure you knew where to go. There are areas of the place which are still under construction but I can imagine things will improve over time.

Beautiful place, still not 100% finished. I found parking around the corner (it was a weekend), close to Excelsior. Staff was friendly.

Joana vasconcelos has done an outstanding job with this exhibition, it’s remarkable. It you are someone interested in art and architecture, it’s a must visit .
