Malta at War Museum, Military museum in Birgu, Malta.
The Malta at War Museum occupies a barrack block and underground shelter within the Couvre Porte Counterguard, displaying wartime artifacts and documents.
The museum's building served as a police headquarters and civil defense center during World War II, when Malta experienced intense aerial bombardment.
The museum exhibits original wartime footage, including the 1943 film 'Malta G.C.', alongside weapons, uniforms, medals, and personal memorabilia from local residents.
Visitors can explore the museum Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 16:30, with adult tickets priced at 14 euros and children aged 5-15 at 7 euros.
The underground tunnels beneath the museum provided shelter for Birgu residents during wartime, with some people staying there for weeks during bombardments.
