| Abstract: | Giovanni Bonello traces the origins of Malta's first public archaeological museum, highlighting a crucial 1901 proposal by Jesuit scholar Fr Manuel Magri to Governor Francis Grenfell. This initiative led to a successful exhibition at Xara Palace that ultimately transformed into the permanent Museum of Archaeology in 1905. |
