    Worth visiting-needs more publicity!

    Travelled by 202 or 203 from Mdina- ask driver to let you off at crafts village. Follow signs and you'll reach the museum (12-15min walk) - 3 large hangars full of fascinating things to see and read. This museum is a hidden gem I felt...More

    For the airplane enthusiast

    The DH has been a member of a restoration team for a Halifax bomber, so this seemed like a winning idea. It did not disappoint. There are lots of airplanes and displays. It is not what you'd call a "world class" museum, but for the...More

    Exceptional

    I have visited museums all over and this small museum is up there with the best. Space is a premium and not all exhibits listed are visible but for any enthusiast this museum is a must. Friendly and knowledgeable staff Highly recommended

    Looking tired

    Loads of history but looking tired, some of the displays are very informative but difficult to read and the whole place could do with some investment. There are some good display however and the Spitfire and Hurricane of course are worth seeing for air enthusiasts....More

    Very good presentation

    Very good, and don't miss out out by looking behind the end hangar where they had two Huey's (German registered). Did not get the two registrations of the two cockpits directly outside (to the side) the main entrance, but a good morning well spent.

    Somehow I would doubt it, the islanders are very religious and Easter is a very devout catholic festival.
