Malta - Day 03 - Birgu - 07 March 2024 - Maritime Museum

 

Malta is an island nation, with 7000 of maritime history, its destiny dictated by the waves that have battered its shores for centuries. Its people have ventured beyond those shores to the ends of the world, turning their biggest natural barrier into a bridge. A bridge that has brought them into contact with the whole world. A world that has delivered to the island war, famine, riches and prosperity: creating in the process ‘An Island at the Crossroads.’ The result of curators past and curators present, ‘An Island at the Crossroads’ is our attempt to read between the lines and uncover the identity of this island nation.
