Bought the Cittadella Combo Ticket. €13 adults/ €9 seniors and students with proof of student ID / €7 children under 11. This price bought entrance to the Cittadella Visitor’s Center, Gozo Museum of Archaeology, The Old Prison, Gozo Nature Museum and the Gran Castello Historic House. All of these places were visited and the grounds were walked within a period of two and a half hours without any stops for bathroom, coffee or food. There are plenty of bathrooms and areas to eat, drink or snack.

There are a few videos upstairs, but mostly it's a few boxes of insects and other creatures which are named, but not explained.

It was free as part of the combined ticket (see below), but I think it's not worth the time unless you really like natural history.
Entry to the museum is €5 on its own (not good value) or €13 as part of a combined ticket that includes 5 Citadella museums (Cittadella visitor centre), museum of archaeology, old prison, Gran Castillo historic house, and nature museum) as well as the Ggantija Archeological park (€10 on its own, making the combined ticket worthwhile) and Ta Kola windmill.
There is a toilet and small...

Weird mishmash of geology, taxidermy and an impressive and/or creepy insect and butterfly collection. Probably the most interesting exhibit is also one of the easiest to miss - a small wood and glass case opposite the entrance holds a Maltese flag that was taken to the moon by Apollo 11, along with some tiny fragments of moon rock, gifted by President Nixon. There's also nice views from a little roof garden.
Admission is included in a 5 euro ticket that also covers four other little museums in...
