National War Museum, Military heritage museum in Fort Saint Elmo, Valletta, Malta
The National War Museum occupies seven sections within Fort Saint Elmo, displaying military artifacts from prehistoric times through Malta's European Union membership.
The museum building served as a gunpowder magazine in 1853 before becoming an armory and later a training facility for anti-aircraft crews during World War II.
The collection includes the George Cross medal awarded to Malta in 1942, representing the entire population's resistance during the Second World War.
The museum welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with admission prices of €6 for adults and reduced rates for students, seniors, and children.
Among the exhibits stands the Gloster Sea Gladiator N5520, the last remaining aircraft from the Hal Far Fighter Flight that defended Malta.
