Free entrance to the National Museum of Natural History (1st February 2015)

The National Museum of Natural History is situated in Mdina in an eighteenth century palace, restructured by Grand Master Antonio Manoel de Vilhena, with plans by Charles Francois de Mondion in 1726. Vilhena Palace was designed in Parisian Baroque style, substituting the original building of the medieval University.

On occasion of the Public Service Week, Heritage Malta will be opening most of its museums and sites for free, with the exception of the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum, Ta’ Hagrat and Skorba Temples, due to restrictions and sensitivity of the sites on Sunday 1st February.

Special tours of the Reserve Collection will be offered at 10:30am in Maltese, 12:30pm in English and 2:30pm in Maltese again.
