An exhibition by Veronica Veen delves into Il-Germudija, a Gozitan retelling of the timeless Cinderella narrative, rooted in the rich oral traditions of the Maltese Islands. First recorded in 1992 from Marija of Xewkija—celebrated as Malta’s last professional storyteller—the tale embodies the fading echoes of an island’s spoken heritage. Through Marija’s voice, fragments of myth, memory, and everyday life intertwine, revealing how folklore once served as both entertainment and moral compass within close-knit Gozitan communities.
Veen’s exhibition reinterprets this rare documentation through a contemporary lens, blending sound, text, and visual form to evoke the rhythm and intimacy of oral storytelling. It not only pays tribute to Marija’s enduring legacy but also invites reflection on the transformation of storytelling in a rapidly changing cultural landscape—where voices once shared around the hearth now seek resonance in new artistic media.

Between Earth, Light & Silence
2026-01-08 09:00 - 17:00, 2026-01-09 09:00 - 17:00, 2026-01-10 09:00 - 17:00, 2026-01-11 09:00 - 17:00 | Il-Ħaġar Gozo Museum, Triq il-Karita`, Victoria, Gozo, Malta
In this temporary exhibition, Gozitan artist Victor Agius explores the theme of the Nativity as a liminal threshold — a space where the earthly and the divine converge. Twenty years after his seminal exhibition Nativitas, Agius returns to this sacred narrative, inviting viewers to dwell in the mystery of the Incarnation, where matter meets spirit and silence receives light.
Through a poetic interplay of earth, pigment, and form, Agius reinterprets traditional iconography and transforms it into a contemporary meditation on birth, transformation, and the sacredness of being. His works evoke both fragility and transcendence, reflecting the human longing for connection with the divine.
The exhibition becomes a journey through stillness and revelation, where clay, ash, and light act as vessels of memory and hope. Agius’s art calls us to pause — to sense the quiet miracle unfolding within and around us — and to rediscover the Nativity not only as an event of the past but as an ever-present moment of becoming.

Frank Mizzi's Iconic Nativity Crib
2026-01-08 09:00 - 17:00, 2026-01-09 09:00 - 17:00, 2026-01-10 09:00 - 17:00, 2026-01-11 09:00 - 17:00 | Il-Ħaġar Gozo Museum, Triq il-Karita`, Victoria, Gozo, Malta
Frank Mizzi began constructing this unique Christmas crib around forty years ago, and it has remained a living work in progress ever since — an evolving testament to both artistic devotion and spiritual reflection. Over the decades, Mizzi continuously refined and expanded the scene, adding new features, figures, and details that imbue the crib with a profound sense of narrative and craftsmanship.
Until only a few years ago, the crib was lovingly displayed in an exhibition space adjoining his home in Triq tal-Għajn, just off St Augustine Square in Victoria. There, it became something of a local treasure, drawing visitors who admired its intricate detail and heartfelt expression of faith.
In a gesture of remarkable generosity and foresight, Frank Mizzi donated this exceptional work to Il-Ħaġar Museum, ensuring its preservation and accessibility for future generations. Today, the crib stands not only as a masterpiece of artisanal skill but also as a symbol of dedication, tradition, and community spirit — a celebration of the timeless story of the Nativity as seen through the eyes of one man’s lifelong passion.
