Malta Maritime Museum, Maritime history museum in Birgu, Malta.
The Malta Maritime Museum occupies the former Royal Naval Bakery building on the Birgu waterfront, displaying over 20,000 artifacts related to naval heritage.
Established in 1992, the museum building served as the principal bakery for the Mediterranean Fleet between 1842 and 1845, producing food using steam-powered machinery.
The museum collection includes traditional Maltese boats, marine equipment, navigational instruments, and artifacts that reflect 7,000 years of Mediterranean maritime connections.
Located at the Birgu waterfront, the museum operates daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with adult admission at 8 euros and reduced rates for students and seniors.
The museum houses the largest Roman lead anchor in the world, weighing 4 tons, alongside a rare 18th-century model ship from the Order of Saint John.
