Year 11 Art Students exploring Malta Aviation Heritage

Year 11 Art Option students accompanied by teachers: Mr John Paul Muscat, Ms Maria Xuereb, & Ms Phyllisienne Borg. from Saint Ignatius College, Mikiel Anton Vassalli, Ħandaq Secondary School visited the Malta Aviation Museum in Ta’ Qali to further appreciate, understand, and respect Maltese cultural identity and visual artistic Heritage. The students began their visit with an orientation around the Museum, followed by an on-site observation drawing workshop.

Situated on the former RAF Ta’ Qali airfield site, the Malta Aviation Museum proudly displays a diverse collection of aircraft, helicopters, airfield ground equipment, and aviation memorabilia spanning from the early days of flight in Malta to the present day. This remarkable collection includes numerous aviation classics intimately connected to Malta’s rich aviation history. As you step into the museum’s reception area, you’ll encounter Royal Navy aircraft and catch a glimpse of an ongoing restoration project in the workshop.
