Whilst walking through Republic Street in Valletta. We saw the sign for the Museum of Archaeology. We found the displays of various artifacts very interesting indeed. The information boards about each were very descriptive. We were surprised at what a history Malta has, with information going back to 5000bc. The glass walk overs were really well done and interesting. During our visit we overheard a few talks going on explaining the displays and, in hindsight, wish we had tagged on rather than doing our own thing. This is an ideal place to visit if you are in Valletta as you can learn so much about early settlers in Malta. A place I would certainly consider visiting if we are back to the island.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
Using a wheelchair we found the ramp fairly easy to access the museum. On going to pay the 5 euro entrance fee, the gent at the desk informed us that wheelchair users do not pay. He then opened an entrance way for the wheelchair and helpfully pointed out where the lift was along with toilet facilities. At this point I would say that we found a number of places we visited on the island that did not charge for wheelchair users (even public transport) whilst it saved us money, we still had the same experience so I feel a bit perplexed by this.
