MUZA is the National Museum of Art, branded as the Malta National-Community Art Museum. The word MUZA is a translation of the Maltese word for ‘inspiration’ and also stands as an acronym for MUZ(ew Nazzjonali tal-)A(rti), in English – National Museum of Art. It also refers to the muses, the mythological figures from Classical Antiquity inspiring creativity and, in effect, the etymological source of the word, ‘museum’.
The objective of MUZA’s interpretation is not to describe the collection but to reveal meanings and relationships, enhancing understanding. All visitors have the option to decide for themselves to which level they engage with the interpretation. A selection of films and interactives reveal the artistic process, and encourage visitors to create their own artworks. These passive and interactive experiences reveal stories and encourage meaningful interpretation through participation, both for art novices and regular art museum visitors.

This is a wonderful and important collection displayed in a very impressive building. There are some lovely curatorial ideas – like the academic drawings on easels around a cast of the Borghese Gladiator.

We visited Muza this morning and would like to recommend people to go and appreciate the fine art’s collection! It would have been difficult to understand each piece of art without the help of our tour guide. Well done and thanks to all the staff at the cafeteria where we had some yummy food as well!
