Visitors to Valletta now have a new landmark to explore. A new cultural centre has opened its doors, showcasing the island's artistic talent and traditions. The centre is set to become a hub for local art exhibitions, performances, and workshops, offering tourists an immersive way to engage with Malta's vibrant creative scene. This new attraction is part of an ongoing effort to enhance the cultural offerings of the capital city and provide a deeper understanding of Maltese heritage beyond its famous historical sites.
Malta International Contemporary Art Space
A new space for contemporary art in Malta: last Oct. 27 opened to the public the Malta International Contemporary Art Space(MICAS), an innovative space for contemporary art that has transformed a historic part of Floriana, a municipality adjacent to the capital Valletta. This new cultural center is the result of a redevelopment and expansion project aimed at attracting artists, experts and enthusiasts from around the world, with the goal of positioning Malta as a leading European creative center.
“We are delighted to finally share with the world what our team has been working so diligently on for the past several years,” said Phyllis Muscat, MICAS CEO and board chair. “Malta’s creative scene is thriving, and the opening of MICAS will put our archipelago on the global artistic map for years to come.”
