Dwejra Marine Environmental Education Centre
About This Museum
Perched on the rugged Gozo coastline overlooking the famous Dwejra Bay, this isn't your typical museum. It's a living classroom dedicated entirely to the incredible marine world that surrounds it, from the now-collapsed Azure Window to the mysterious Fungus Rock. The centre feels more like a local field station than a formal institution, buzzing with a genuine passion for Malta's underwater heritage. Its mission is to connect you directly with the often-unseen Mediterranean ecosystems right on its doorstep.
Collection Highlights
You'll find fascinating models of local shipwrecks and tactile displays explaining unique seabed formations. The real stars are the detailed dioramas of marine life and information panels that tell the human stories tied to this coast, from fishermen to explorers.
Visitor Information
Pop in after a morning hike around the inland sea; it's the perfect way to understand what you've just seen. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and love sharing insights, making it a great spot for curious families or anyone wanting to look beyond the surface.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a charming, traditional Maltese farmhouse built from golden limestone, it blends so seamlessly into the landscape you might almost miss it.
