Visit Malta at London Art Fair 2024

Visit Malta 

Only a short three-hour flight away from the UK; city breakers can enjoy a trip to Valletta; The Sunniest City in Europe, families can experience adventure holidays and history enthusiasts can discover 7000 years of history across the Maltese Islands. All the while basking in over 300 days of sunshine a year.  

Spring 2024 also sees the launch of the maltabiennale.art and so there is no better time for art lovers to visit The Maltese Islands. 

Valletta; The Sunniest City in Europe  

The UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world; there are over 320 historical monuments to be found in Valletta alone.  

Muza and Casa Rocca Piccola are two top spots for those looking to explore artwork collections in Valletta and not to be missed is the only signed Caravaggio which is located at St Johns Co-Cathedral. 

Home to the oldest structures in the world  

History buffs can discover over 7,000 years of history. The Islands’ scenery and architecture provide a spectacular backdrop to explore megaliths, medieval dungeons and ancient cities; the destination is positively mythic. There are three UNESCO World Heritage sites found on the Maltese Islands; the Megalithic Temples, the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum and the City of Valletta. The Megalithic Ġgantija Temples were created 1,000 years before the Egyptian Pyramids and is the oldest free-standing structure in the world.

The maltabiennale.art which will be held between 11th of March 2024 until the 31st of May 2024 has been granted the patronage of His Excellency George Vella, the President of Malta. This is the second patronage for the international contemporary art festival, with UNESCO granting its patronage to the biennale in August 2023. 

The maltabiennale.art, the first of its kind for Malta, will be spread around Malta and Gozo, primarily in Heritage Malta sites.  

In parallel with the artistic exhibitions which will be the heart of maltabiennale.art, the festival will also include educational and academic programmes; workshops in collaboration with local and international institutions; as well as a performing arts programme in collaboration with several local cultural entities.
