✨ Alla preistorika immaġinata mill-ġdid minn għajnejn moderni 👀

Il-wirja ‘Allat Moħbija – Pitturi Mistura ta’ Giorgio Preca’ tlaqqa’ flimkien 31 biċċa xogħol ta’ wieħed mill-pijunieri tal-arti moderna Maltija li qatt ma ntwerew qabel, ma’ wħud mill-eqdem teżori fil-kollezzjoni nazzjonali ta’ pajjiżna.

🎨 Imnebbħa mill-figura ikonika tal-‘Mara Rieqda’ mill-Ipoġew ta’ Ħal Saflieni, il-pitturi vibranti ta’ Preca joħolqu djalogu b’saħħtu bejn l-imgħoddi mbiegħed ta’ Malta u l-immaġinazzjoni artistika tagħha li qed tkompli timraħ.

✨ A prehistoric goddess reimagined through modern eyes 👀

The exhibition ‘Hidden Goddesses – Unseen paintings by Giorgio Preca’ brings together 31 previously unseen works by one of Malta’s pioneering modern artists, with some of the oldest treasures in Malta’s national collection.

🎨 Inspired by the iconic ‘Sleeping Lady’ from the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum, Preca’s vibrant paintings create a striking dialogue between Malta’s ancient past and its evolving artistic imagination.

🤔 Iċċempel lill-pulizija minħabba rixa mitlufa?

👮‍♂️ F’Malta tal-1920, rixa tan-ngħam mitlufa tant kienet prezzjuża li nfetħet inkjesta tal-pulizija dwarha. Dak iż-żmien, il-kpiepel imżejna bir-rix kienu saru popolari ferm, speċjalment fit-tiġijiet Maltin. Dawn l-aċċessorji attraenti kienu wkoll ix-xrara wara wħud mill-ewwel movimenti favur il-konservazzjoni tal-ambjent 👒

Skopri aktar f’‘Il-Moda u l-Bidu tal-Konservazzjoni tan-Natura’ fil-Mużew Nazzjonali tal-Istorja Naturali fl-Imdina, miftuħa sal-aħħar ta' Settembru 🏛️

🤔 Would you call the police over a lost feather?

👮‍♂️ In 1920 Malta, one missing ostrich plume was deemed valuable enough to spark a police inquiry. By that time, feathered hats had become all the rage, particularly at Maltese weddings. These alluring accessories were also catalysts for some of the earliest environment conservation movements 👒

Discover the whole story in ‘Fashion and the Birth of Nature Conservation’ at the National Museum of Natural History in Mdina until the end of September 🏛️

🇲🇹 Kont taf? 🤔

Jum il-Vitorja jfakkar żewġ avvenimenti importanti fl-istorja ta' Malta!

Fit-8 ta' Settembru 1565, l-Ordni ta' San Ġwann ħarġet rebbieħa fl-Assedju l-Kbir wara li telqu l-Ottomani. Fl-istess jum fl-1943, iċ-ċediment tal-Italja wassal għat-tmiem tal-kalvarju ta' Malta matul it-Tieni Gwerra Dinjija. Għalkemm iż-żewġ rebħiet ġew bi prezz għoli, jibqgħu simboli b’saħħithom ta' reżiljenza u għaqda nazzjonali, li għadhom isawru l-istorja ta' Malta sa llum-il ġurnata.

🇬🇧 Did you know? 🤔

Victory Day marks two turning points in Malta’s history!

On 8 September 1565, the Order of St John triumphed in the Great Siege after the Ottoman withdrawal. On the same day in 1943, Italy’s surrender signalled the end of Malta’s wartime ordeal during WWII. Though both victories came at a heavy cost, they remain powerful symbols of resilience and national unity, that continue to shape Malta’s story today.
