NATIONAL MUSEUM OF ARCHAEOLOGY

Journey to Malta's prehistoric origins at the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta's Auberge de Provence—the island's oldest museum housing artifacts from ancient temple builders! See the famous "Sleeping Lady" fertility statue from Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum, "Venus of Malta," animal-headed figures, stone altars, and tools revealing how Malta's mysterious megalithic culture thrived.

Explore halls dedicated to Neolithic temples (taller than Stonehenge), Bronze Age jewelry, and Phoenician pottery—Europe's oldest free-standing structures started here. Panels explain rituals, burials, and daily life of people who built Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra.

Perfect for students: FREE English audio guides (6 languages) practice listening on prehistoric vocabulary and temple mysteries. All exhibits labelled in English.
