National Museum of Archaeology

Great place to visit. Loved getting to see the sculpture of thé sleeping woman. Malta pass strongly recommended Please limit tour group sizes and frequency to make museum experience better for other guests. Occasionally large groups block Access to entire sections

In Malta you stumble over history, thousands of years of history, and the best place to learn more about that ancient history is the National Museum of Archaeology. The interesting and educational museum is not very big, you can see everything well in an hour.

It was as if curators did not exist in this museum. The layout of the panels were awkward and in the wrong angles. While one is reading the writing on the panel, other visitors have to squeeze between the person and the panel, because there is no way other than that to pass that place. So badly designed layout. No thoughts are put in the view point of visitors who are eager to learn the history of prehistoric Malta. Also the lighting on the writings were very poor. I had to use the light on my phone to read some of them. Again, no thoughts were put in the perspective of visitors. The lockers were an outdated model and didn't feel secure to leave my bag in it. This museum desperately needs well trained curators.

5 euro entrance so ok, but then it is a little underwhelming and could do with a refresh. A free app for the audio guide which was only saving grace. Worst part was the large tour groups. It’s too small to compete with them and the loud guide. I was weaving my way through the crowds. Think they thought I was part of their group and being a pest. 2 levels with additional rooms. Interesting history but can be hit or miss.

Having visited some of the ancient sites, the Museum helped make sense of these intriguing remains. The QR Code guide was excellent.

Excellent location for anyone wanting to learn about the distant history of Malta from the Neolithic era to the medieval times. It was a shame some of the sections were under renovation, but would still highly recommend for the price!

The Archeological record from Malta was something we were surprised about . Some of the structure predate the pyramids by a thousand years !!! I would give 5 stars however the pieces do need to be exhibited in a better way . This is my only criticism . A very good selection of artefacts and a great way to understand the development of humankind .

Very interesting museum, especially when you visit Hagar Qim, as lots of the artifacts were found here. No AC so it's very hot, but there's fans and you can just take it slowly. Loved learning about the history of Malta.
