The 19 th Century Dr. Bugeja Caruana hall follows a yet larger hall bequested by the same donor. The new space inaugurated April 2026 conserves a collection of a 19-century portrait gallery other maritime and miscellaneous pictures. This space exhibits a collection of silver and nostalgic jewellery with generations of inheritance.
Another chapter of heritage unfolds within the 19th-century Dr. Bugeja Caruana Hall. This space follows an even larger hall generously bequeathed by the same donor, continuing a vision rooted in preservation and cultural appreciation.
Set to be inaugurated next April, the new hall offers visitors a rich and layered experience. At its heart lies a remarkable 19th-century portrait gallery, capturing faces and stories from another era. Alongside these are maritime scenes and a variety of miscellaneous works, each contributing to a broader narrative of history, identity, and connection to the sea.
The exhibition extends beyond paintings. Carefully curated displays of silver and nostalgic jewellery reveal objects passed down through generations, each piece carrying personal histories and emotional value.
These items are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful, reflecting traditions of inheritance and memory.
Together, the hall creates an intimate dialogue between art, craftsmanship, and legacy—inviting visitors to explore the past through objects that have stood the test of time.
