Heritage Malta’s Palace Armoury in Valletta has received a generous donation of Lm15,000 from GasanMamo Insurance Ltd through a collaboration agreement signed between the two companies.

The money will be donated over three years and will be used exclusively for the ongoing refurbishment of the Armoury.

Heritage Malta’s chairman Dr Mario Tabone explained how the donation will definitely speed up the Armoury’s upgrading project.

The agency’s chairman said that Heritage Malta’s vision is to return the Armoury to its original location in the Grand Master’s Palace – which currently houses the House of Representatives.

The sponsorship will be used to install large information panels between the showcases that will offer more details on the artefacts. The money will also be used to buy display stands specifically designed to hold arms and armoury.

The Armoury collection has already been organised chronologically and audio guides in six different languages are also available. Part of the funding will also go towards educational programmes, which have been a priority on Heritage Malta’s agenda since it was set up.

GasanMamo’s managing director Albert Mamo said that the donation confirmed the company’s corporate social responsibility and its commitment towards Heritage Malta’s mission and towards the preservation of our heritage.

The Palace Armoury is open Monday to Sunday from 9am to 5pm. Last admission is at 4.30pm.
