The museum opened its doors on September 5, 1954, under the direction of Monsignor Joseph Zarb to preserve the heritage of Our Lady of Graces.
The museum exhibits 85 maritime ex-voto paintings, religious vestments, church documents, and ceremonial items that represent local parish traditions through centuries.
