Caravaggio for children

Heritage Malta will hold another educational activity on Caravaggio as part of the Caravaggio: L'Immagine Del Divino exhibition at the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta.

Tailor-made guided tours around the exhibition for young visitors will be held on Sunday between 2 and 4 p.m. The young visitors will be assisted to work out the exercises in the Caravaggio Workbook which Heritage Malta published to enhance the educational aspect of the exhibition.

The visitors will observe students from the School of Art painting in front of Caravaggio's works and will even have an opportunity to create their own drawings based on what they discover about the great painter.

Participants, who must be between eight and 12, are to be accompanied by an adult. Parents can avail themselves of the family ticket which allows entry to two adults and two children to the exhibition at a cost of Lm9 (€20.96). This will also enable visitors to visit the National Museum of Fine Arts where an exhibition of Caravaggisti paintings is also being held.

Both the National Museum of Archaeology and the National Museum of Fine Arts are open Monday to Sunday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
