A temporary exhibition at Il-Hagar Museum in Victoria, which is showcasing for the first time a collection of designs prepared by one of Malta’s finest decorators, Giuseppe Galea, for Gozo’s St George’s Basilica, had its official inauguration by Minister for Gozo and Planning Clint Camilleri
Many of these designs have been donated to the Museum by the artist’s family, while others were acquired through sponsorship by Lombard Bank.
Galea studied art in Rome between 1933 and 1938, where he forged a deep friendship with Maltese master sculptor Antonio Sciortino under whose tutelage he studied life drawing.
The exhibition can be visited until Sunday, the 16th of June, during the museum opening hours of 9am to 5pm. Admission to Il-Hagar Museum is free of charge.
