It has a decent size, the exhibition is a bit 'old-fashioned' (text + artifacts), but the information is good and interesting with good timelines. It has a good mix of the various time periods (neolithic, Phoenicians, Romans, (a bit of) Arabs, and of course the Knights of St. John.) If you're interested in the history and cultures of Malta, I'd recommend it.

Small museum (they're apparently building a big new one nearby) with some interesting exhibits that were found around the island, from the stone age to the Romans and beyond. Admission is included in a 5 euro ticket that also covers four other little museums in the citadella.

Una ciudadela-"cittadella" bien cuidada y recuperada. Con sencillos museos, aunque muy agradables e interesante visitarlos. En la recepción hay un pequeño centro de interpretación, donde se ofrece una sencilla explicación de la historia de la ciudadela, así como de las diferentes fases de su construcción. Aunque el recinto se puede visitar sin entrada, ésta habrá que obtenerla, por unos cinco euros, si se desea ver los museos: arqueológico, ciencias naturales, la prisión y la fortaleza. Para entrar en la catedral hay que comprar otra entrada. Pero solo el hecho de pasear por la "cittadella" puede convertirse en una vivencia inolvidable.

It’s a rather smaller but informative museum. It only has two floors with small rooms. Although there was quite a bit on display, I feel like I was better informed at other museums. Still decent none the less.

Hats off to the staff at the Gozo Museum of Archeology and to the Admin staff at Heritage Malta Gozo. They are so knowledgeable and helpful. A memorable visit with future kindergarten educators from MCAST.

En una casa particular tradiciónal con un museo dentro. Bien. Tiene el encanto de lo local sin ser cutre. La cafetera de los trabajadores, o las taquillas en una de las salas. Y un discurso antiguo pero limpio, con itinerario, lejos del almacén de piedras y sin nada virtual, todo sencillo y de verdad, como dicen los clásicos que han de ser las comidas y los amigos. Encontramos a faltar más "señoras gordas" y algún otro ejemplo de decoración cerámica. La gente muy antenta. Rápido, acogedor, agradable, claro y sencillo. Enriquecedor.
