Museum entrance in St John's Lane

Important notice:  The Museum is closed on the Bank Holiday weekends; Saturday to Monday  3 -5 May 2008 and 23 -25 May 2008.

This museum explores the legacy of the Order of St John (or the Hospitallers), a religious order founded in Jerusalem by 1099. The members were devoted to nursing and fighting, first as defenders of the land captured in the Holy Lands by the Crusades and later as sovereign rulers of a series of island states in the Mediterranean - including Malta.

    It’s a gem…tucked away. It was the stories, it was the collection…it’s just a gem.
