Page in Development
Our online collection pages are currently being developed.
This section of the website is under construction. In the future, it will provide a fuller overview of the Museum’s holdings, selected object highlights, and interpretive resources connected to Maltese and Maltese-Canadian heritage.
The collection includes ancient artefacts, devotional and community objects, maritime models, stamps, coins, traditional crafts, natural history specimens, and materials that reflect the life of Maltese communities in Canada.

Philatelic materials document communication, symbolism, public memory, and the changing political and cultural history of Malta.
Numismatic Collection
Coins and related numismatic materials represent periods throughout Maltese history, offering small but powerful evidence of authority, economy, and identity.

Natural history specimens, including fossils, connect the Museum’s holdings to Malta’s geological past and the wider Mediterranean environment.
