An exhibition on Good Friday statuary costumes in Malta and Spain has been inaugurated by Heritage Malta at the Inquisitor’s Palace, Vittoriosa. The exhibition, Ecce Mater Tua, Ecce Filius Tuus has been put up in collaboration with the Spanish Maltese Cultural Centre.

The exhibition, open until 15 April, compares and contrasts the use of costume in Good Friday rituals in Malta and Spain, particularly that used to dress images taken out in procession. On display are a collection of photographic images, artefacts and audio-visual material related to the theme. The exhibition also includes a number of unique artefacts from private collections such as historic paintings. Statuary from the national collection is also on exhibit.

The Inquisitor’s Palace is open Monday to Sunday, from 9am till 5pm.
