Malta!

Picturesque landscapes, rich history and a vibrant art scene: The Maltese islands inspire with their diversity. This will also be evident at the very first Malta Biennale in 2024.

Sun all year round, crystal-clear water and a fascinating past - there is plenty to experience on the archipelago in the Mediterranean, which consists of the three islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino. The capital Valletta on Malta is the cultural center. Malta's smaller sister island Gozo is more rural, with fishing, agriculture and crafts. Comino is unpopulated. The island kingdom's sights include the world-famous Hypogeum (UNESCO), prehistoric temples, baroque palaces and Renaissance cathedrals.



The oldest known human settlements in the world present themselves to the visitor in a huge open-air museum. The different nationalities of Malta's occupants have led to a fascinating fusion of traditions. Outside the villages, hiking trails combine nature and history. And water sports enthusiasts appreciate the turquoise bays and historical underwater treasures. Spring is a wonderful time to travel to Malta and experience the island's cultural reawakening. From the first festas decorating the village squares and streets to art exhibitions and firework festivals over the Mediterranean, Malta's cultural scene is diverse and creative. With direct flights from many German cities, Vienna and Zurich, the enchanting island world is also easy to reach.



A particular highlight for art lovers is the Malta Biennale, which will take place for the first time between March and May 2024. UNESCO has taken over the patronage of the prestigious event, which brings together renowned international artists, up-and-coming talents and art lovers from all over the world. The multi-week arts festival takes place across Malta and Gozo, mainly in the historic sites of Heritage Malta, many of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. "Olive Groves by the White Sea" is the theme of this year's event. It explores the interplay between the sea, the Maltese landscape and the Mediterranean lifestyle. Global ways of thinking about art and culture are to be reconsidered and invite artistic debate. The Maltabiennale is primarily organized by the MUŻA, the Museum of Fine Arts.
