The Latrobe Valley Maltese Museum is Australia's first and only Maltese Museum, located in Morwell.
What is here?
Australia's first and only Maltese Museum was launched by Mario Sammut, a migrant who came to the Latrobe Valley in 1985. The dream was to preserve the Maltese culture and identity while assimilating within the Australian community.
