Over 10,000 persons visited Heritage Malta museums and sites in Valletta last Saturday during Notte Bianca, when they were opened free of charge.

Heritage Malta said the most popular venue was the National Museum of Archaeology which was visited by nearly 4,000 persons. Visitors had an opportunity to handle original artefacts and learn about their uses and purpose.

The Palace Armoury was also very popular with nearly 3,500 visitors. The National Museum of Fine Arts was visited by over 1,500 persons.

The Heritage Book Fair at the Heritage Malta Head Office also proved to be a success as many took the opportunity of viewing Anthony Catania’s painting exhibition ‘The Pied Piper’ which will remain open to the public until the 19th of October.

Visitors also thronged to admire Pilar Church in West Street.
