The museum houses key works, including noteworthy
examples of international importance, from the
national collection of Malta. A conspicuous
number of works originally belonged to the Order
of the Knights of St John and come from the
Magisterial Palace, the various auberges in which
the knights took up residence, churches belonging
to the Order, and the other places falling
directly under the administration of the Order.
To this original nucleus were added important
acquisitions affected through the local and
international market, bequests by public spirited
individuals and donations. The architecture of
the building is an important example of the
mid-eighteenth century late baroque style in
Malta boasting one of the finest main staircases
to be seen on the island.
