Heritage Malta has launched it calendar of events for 2020, with 150 events spread across the Maltese Islands over the year.

Noel Zammit, Heritage Malta’s CEO, said that Heritage Malta’s principal goal is to entice individuals from all walks of life to be interested in Malta’s historical heritage through a collection of diverse and interactive activities.

“We no longer consider museums simply as the place to preserve our heritage, but as spaces which are alive and attractive to all, thanks to the events we organise within them,” he said.

He explained that this aim is clearly reflected in the variety of activities planned throughout the coming months. From workshops to the opening of sites which are normally closed to the public, from Taste History events to visits around Filfla.

Minister for National Heritage, the Arts, and Local Government José Herrera pointed out that the government has elevated culture to the title of National Heritage.

“I truly believe that, in collaboration with NGOs which, like Heritage Malta, have the interests of our national heritage at heart,” declared Minister Herrera, “we are in a better position to preserve our heritage for future generations.”
