On the anniversary of Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to Malta, a range of exclusive covers and designs by Anthony Grech are on display at Il-Hagar Museum in the Gozo Philatelic Society showcase.
Grech produced them on the 17th and 18th of April 2010 during the visit, as well as on the demise of the Pope Emeritus on the 31st of December 2022.
These exhibits will be replaced in mid May when the GPS will be issuing a Card publication. However the permanent items on level 2 include a signed letter, skullcap and mitre from his pontificate.
Visitors can continue to pick up free copies of the GPS quarterly periodical.
Il-Hagar Museum is located in St George’s Square, Victoria, Gozo. Visiting hours remain 9am – 5pm seven days a week, still with no entrance fee.
