The Ship (unseen) launches tonight. Here’s an updated guide to help you navigate the spaces (alongside wayfinding signage within the Palace).

The Prison Cell complex will be open to visitors to view a selection of ship graffiti. The space will also host a 45-minute live performance by sound artist Jamie Barbara ( ) and a video projection by Matthew Attard. Please note that space is limited; we encourage you to move around and experience the work from different points in the Palace.

The reception and exhibition are located on the upper floor, in the Cardinal’s Hall and Temporary Exhibition Space respectively. Kindly note that no food or drinks are permitted inside the exhibition area.

We look forward to welcoming you tonight at the Inquisitor’s Palace, Birgu💙
