Dar Karmni Grima Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in the village of Għarb, the Dar Karmni Grima Museum holds a secret that predates the Egyptian pyramids by centuries. This isn't a grand, imposing institution but a lovingly preserved 18th-century Maltese townhouse, its limestone walls whispering stories of generations past. Stepping inside feels less like visiting a museum and more like being welcomed into a family home where time has stood still. The collection is an intimate portrait of daily life, from the wooden 'ghorfa' furniture to the delicate bobbin lace, each object telling a quiet story of faith, craft, and community.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the home is the original kitchen, complete with traditional cooking pots and a stone sink. Look for the beautiful collection of handmade lace, a testament to local skill, and the charming 'gnien'—a small, walled garden out back that feels like a hidden oasis.
Visitor Information
It's located at 2 Triq l-Għarb; just look for the unassuming traditional doorway. Since it's a small house museum, it's wise to check opening times in advance to ensure you can get that personal, unhurried look around.
Architecture & Building
A classic example of vernacular Maltese architecture, featuring thick limestone walls, a wooden balcony overlooking the street, and a series of small, interconnecting rooms built around a central courtyard.
