If the summer solstice takes pride of place this month, there are a number of other significant events on the Heritage Malta calendar during June. This coming Sunday is World Environment Day.

On June 22 there is an important public lecture at the Inquisitor's Palace in Vittoriosa. The lecture will be delivered by Fr Mario Briffa SJ on one of Malta's pioneers of Maltese Museums, the ethnographer and archeologist Fr Emmanuel Magri. Admission is free, but tickets must be collected from either HM's head office or from the Inquisitor's Palace.
Music also features strongly this month. The brilliant young organist Claire Baluci will give a concert on June 23 at 8 p.m at Heritage Malta Conservation Division in Bighi. Ms Baluci is regarded as one of the finest organists in Europe and her reputation is spreading even further afield. Tickets can be obtained from HM's head office.
There are several art exhibitions to visit this month, but the most unusual will be at the Inquisitor's Palace in Vittoriosa entitled: Caravaggio in Salt. This will be an exhibition of salt works produced by members of the police force depicting some of Caravaggio's works.
The much-visited Chinese exhibition at the Salon in the National Museum of Archaeology, Valletta, Silent Warriors - The Chinese Terracotta Soldiers, continues for the whole of June. If you haven't seen it, then we strongly recommend that you do.
Other exhibitions this month include "'" . This is an exhibition of drawings (1999 - 2006) by Caesar Attard at the Contemporary Hall, National Museum of Fine Arts, Valletta. This is set to end on June 12.
The exhibition of high contrast monotone prints by Gordon Weston entitled: The Temples: Structures and Stones in the Lobby of the National Museum of Archaeology continues for five days longer, terminating on June 17. You will have just two days more than that to catch Battle of Angels - An exhibition of paintings by Tonio Mallia. This time in the Loggia of the National Museum of Fine Arts, Valletta.
There is also an art exhibition at the Heritage Malta head office this month. It will be a showing of watercolours by Mary Clare Albanozzo and it is called: Cross Section.
All this and the summer solstice too... can't be bad.
