Abstract: | Thousands of visitors walk round the spacious halls, the glazed-in corridors and the central courtyard of the Cathedral Museum at Mdina, Malta and admire the varied exhibits; many of these visitors, however, believe that the treasures of the museum are limited to its collections and fail to realize that equally important is the palace itself, with its restrained baroque architecture and the centuries old archives with the wealth of material contained therein. This compendium does not offer a guide, however brief, to the museum nor a catalogue of its exhibits. It simply selects a limited number of important items and offers some comments on their artistic or historical importance along with some information on their provenance and their connection with the political, social and cultural history of the Maltese islands. |
