War Museum

In June 2009, Heritage Malta inaugurated the modernised Malta War Museum. iGuzzini light fittings were supplied by Apex Interiors Ltd. Scicluna and Associates were the Engineers in charge of the project.

The National War Museum is located in the building known as the old Drill Hall of Lower Fort St Elmo, Valletta. The museum’s collection on display focuses on the two World Wars (1914-18 and 1939-45).

It recounts the story of the events which led to the two wars, their development and major actions, and also their consequences, locally and abroad. Special reference is made to the role of Malta in the theatre of war and the contribution of the Maltese population to the war effort, especially during the incredibly difficult conditions of 1942.
