The Malta Maritime Museum is located in the historic Birgu waterfront, inside the former Royal Naval Bakery. Its extensive collection includes ship models, navigational instruments, cannons, and artifacts from the Knights of St. John, the British Royal Navy, and Malta's own maritime traditions. Visitors can explore exhibits on shipbuilding, naval battles, and the role of the Grand Harbour. The building itself, with its grand neoclassical facade, adds to the experience.
