Atlas Insurance presents 'Centennial Chronicles: Celebrating Malta's Commercial Legacy' ATLAS Insurance's exhibition is marking the hundred years of its legacy. "Centennial Chronicles: Celebrating Malta's Commer- cial Legacy," is currently under- way at The Malta Chamber in Valletta. This unique exhibition, open until May 28th, is not just a celebration of Atlas' 100-year journey but a comprehensive tribute to the vibrant commer- cial history of Malta. The exhibition offers visitors a journey through Malta's eco- nomic development, cultural history, and political dynamics, which are deeply intertwined with the narrative of Atlas In- surance. From pre-20th century insurance documents to a recon- structed 1920s-1930s office, the exhibition showcases the evolu- tion of the insurance industry in parallel with the country's social and economic evolution, as it adapted to reflect the shifting needs and risks of each period. Curated by Justine Balzan De- majo, with archiving and re- search conducted by Nikolai Debono, the exhibition is open from Monday to Friday until the 28 May between 8am and 4.30pm. There will be daily cu- ratorial tours on a drop-in basis at lunchtime from 22 April. Lectures by Liam Gauci, Dr Philip Farrugia Randon and Dr Mario Brincat will also be held, shedding light on various as- pects of commercial history, from corsairing to memories of Valletta in the mid-twentieth century, to economic history be- tween 1945-1959. Bookings for these lectures and for evening curatorial tours are available on- line through the Atlas website.
