About MUŻA
MUŻA is an art museum located in Valletta, Malta. It is housed within the Auberge d'Italie, a historic building that previously served as the National Museum of Fine Arts. Visitors go here to view a collection of Maltese artworks and to see the architecture of the building itself.
Getting There
The museum is located within the city of Valletta. Since the city center is compact and pedestrian-friendly, it is accessible by foot from most central points. Depending on your starting location within the city, the walk typically takes between 5 and 15 minutes.
Duration of Visit
Most visitors spend between 1.5 to 3 hours exploring the galleries and the interior of the Auberge d'Italie, depending on their interest in the specific art periods on display.
