Il-Hagar Museum in Victoria is to present a new temporary exhibition which will showcase for the first time a collection of designs prepared by one of Malta’s finest decorators, Giuseppe Galea, for Gozo’s St George’s Basilica.

Many of these designs have been donated to the Museum by the artist’s family, while others were acquired through sponsorship by Lombard Bank.

Galea studied art in Rome between 1933 and 1938, where he forged a deep friendship with Maltese master sculptor Antonio Sciortino under whose tutelage he studied life drawing.

The Giuseppe Galea Collection will be inaugurated on Saturday, the 27th of April, at 7.30, by Minister for Gozo and Planning Clint Camilleri.

To attend the official opening, kindly RSVP at the earliest by emailing: events@heartofgozo.org.mt.

The exhibition can be visited until Sunday, the 16th of June, during the museum opening hours of 9am to 5pm. Admission to Il-Hagar Museum is free.
