Gozo, Malta
Gharb Folklore Museum

Experience the Gozo of the past in the Gharb Folklore Museum.

The enthralling Gharb Folklore Museum is an authentic 18th century house in Gozo with 28 rooms filled with historic artefacts from various historical periods, providing an immersive summary of Gozo’s culture and lifestyle through the ages.


Explore the trades that were once the heartbeat of Gozo through the museum’s exhibitions, which are arranged to depict a typical workshop or storefront. Paying the exhibitions a visit makes you seem as if you’ve been transported to a not-so-distant past; visiting a carpenter’s workshop or an old printing room makes you feel as if you have stepped into the shoes of craftsmen of the old and re re-living their lives as it happened. Antique knick-knacks and relics narrate a story of Gozo's traditions, celebrations and pastimes, painting pictures of their way of life and how it evolved as the world changed. This fascinating museum will cause you to lose yourself in the intricacies and curiosities of Gozo’s history and is a museum certainly not to be missed.
