A huge congratulations to our MSc Sustainable Heritage students, who recently submitted a report to Heritage Malta, the Maltese national agency for cultural heritage. 聽This is part of the longstanding partnership between the 果冻影院 Institute for Sustainable Heritage and Heritage Malta.

The report outlines the students鈥 findings and recommendations from this year鈥檚 project: 鈥淎 New Museum for Gozo鈥. 聽The project was a fascinating look at Heritage Malta鈥檚 plan to develop a new museum for the island of Gozo, to the north of the main Maltese island, which has its own distinct and rich cultural traditions. 聽

The students spent two weeks in Gozo, exploring existing museum collections, including archaeological, natural history and ethnographic artefacts and assessed the feasibility of rehousing them in a former school, itself an important piece of Modernist architecture and a well-known building within the community. 聽Back in London, the students worked together to bring all they had learnt and discovered into a report for Heritage Malta. 聽The results is an impressive piece of work that shows above all how much they understood and appreciated the importance of telling the story of Gozo. 聽
