Il-Hagar museum in Victoria, Gozo, has announced that it will again be welcoming visitors from Monday, the 26th of April – at the usual opening hours of 9am to 5pm, seven days a week. Anti-Covid protocols will be followed, but entrance remains free.

Following many requests, the museum has decided to extend the five temporary exhibitions which were limited to the website (www.heartofgozo.org.mt) when museums were closed by the health authorities in March, soon after their display had commenced.

Twilights (on various levels) offers forty examples of Sacred Art by Aaron Formosa. The full colour sixty-pager exhibition catalogue is again available.

Vexilla Regis – housed in a showcase on level -1 – has a range of Crucifixes, from different periods and in assorted styles.

Video Room 2 holds “A Meeting of Minds” with documents and manuscripts highlighting connections between Professors Joseph Vella and Oliver Friggieri – with a background recording too.

A typical Good Friday Procession is represented through hundreds of statuettes – made by Joseph Agius, Lino Fardell and Paul Muscat – arranged in three cases in Video Room 1.

The Gozo Philatelic Society showcase (level -1) has a look at Malta’s first stamp, including rare items.

Il-Hagar is located in St George’s Square, Victoria.
