Palazzo Falson launches activity book for children

A publication for children about Palazzo Falson's Historic House Museum has been launched.

The publication, which is available in both Maltese and English, takes the form of a children's activity book targeted at six to 12- year-olds, and is intended to guide children around the museum.

The theme of the book is a treasure hunt leading the children from room to room in a journey which highlights artefacts in the collection and architectural features of the building.

The preparation of an activity book was originally proposed by Bernie Mizzi, principal of Chiswick House School, who went on to write the text of the book, which is based on research conducted by Michelle Galea of Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti.

Marisa Attard illustrated the book. Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum in Mdina will also dedicate a Monday morning every month to hosting children.
