TESTIMONIALS
"Brilliantly displayed and explained information, Tunnels an added bonus." Catherine W, Tripadvisor 2018
"A must see - Visited the Malta at War Museum in Birgu earlier this week with my family. Well worth a visit to find out more about the history of Malta in WWII. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to this museum." David C, Tripadvisor 2018
"Exceptional - it is one of the most informative and interesting Museums one could ever visit. A must for any visitor to Malta to learn how it survived the war time blitz with a large amount of genuine war time film. There is so much to see and read that we will be visiting the Museum again. " Richard H, Tripadvisor 2018
