MICAS — Malta International Contemporary Arts Space

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.

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.

What an amazing place! This exhibition is a blast, I left speechless. I was especially moved by the Garden of Eden (just one small remark - I think that it would be better if the space was completely dark, but that’s a minor thing). It’s amazing that you can walk so close to the artworks, becoming an integral part of them. Beautiful, cannot wait for the future exhibitions. Probably the best museum in Malta. It’s still not fully finished, but it seems that in the near future everything should be done. Try to advertise it more, unless someone is really into art, they have no clue about this place.

Went with my niece during the open weekend. Loads of activities for kids, took the tour where we could see and learn all about the interactive installations, loved it!

Beautiful building and architecture. Love the art installations. Definitely worth visiting 👌

Something you wouldn’t expect exists in Malta. They have indoor and outdoor installations. The indoor one feels more extravagant. The outdoor installation part feels deeper and plays with your psychological side and is highly recommended to see. Just be aware if you’re claustrophobic or get seasick easily. The museum ticket price is 10 euros for adults, and 7 euros for students. Suggestion for the museum: Put up a warning for the outdoor art installations.
