Along an alternative, little-known route into the city of Valletta, and tucked away within the outer fortification walls of Valletta, is the unique gallery dedicated to one of Britain's foremost abstract art pioneers - Victor Pasmore (1908-1998). The gallery, originally a ‘polverista’, or gunpowder magazine, was built during the construction of the outer fortification walls of Valletta in the 1640s, and was later rebuilt during the British period. In more recent years, the inner barrel-vaulted room was restored and converted into a permanent exhibition space following a collaborative agreement between The Central Bank of Malta and The Victor Pasmore Foundation and was officially opened to the public on the 3rd of November 2014.
KINDLY NOTE THAT FURTHER TO THE CENTRAL BANK OF MALTA'S REQUEST AND DUE TO THE CURRENT COVID - 19 VIRUS ISSUE, THE GALLERY WILL BE CLOSED AS FROM FRIDAY 13th MARCH 2020 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
