THE latest publication by Heritage Malta
'Heritage Malta Museums & Sites: The Med-
iterranean in a Nutshell' provides an over-
view of thirty Heritage Malta museums and
sites which are open for the public and range
from geology to industrial heritage, archae-
ology to ethnography, and palaces to under-
ground cemeteries.
The hardbound slender and reasonably
priced book is ideal for all those who have
an interest in the Maltese Islands' legacy,
for students who require reliable but brief
information about the islands' main ar-
chaeological and historical sites, and also
for tourists who would like to acquire a
memorable keepsake of their stay in Malta.
Detailed but concise one-page accounts
focus on the essential data which one needs
to know about each of Heritage Malta's
museums and sites, whereas accompanying
one-page images include a set of brief main
points, together with the address, contact,
weblink and QR code of each place. The
engaging pages take you on a journey of
discovery of these fascinating islands.
