Central Bank of Malta will be open during Notte Bianca

We are happy to announce that the Bank will once again be participating in Notte Bianca this year happening on Saturday, 1 October 2022.

The Bank's premises will be open to the public between 18:00 to 23:00. The Bank's Upper and Lower gardens will also be accessible offering a variety of attractions. 

At the Bank’s currency museum, visitors will have the opportunity to tour its splendid selection of coins and banknotes in circulation in Malta over the ages and purchase a variety of numismatic and collector coins from the Malta Coin Centre. A counterfeit expert will also give valuable information to those visiting.

In collaboration with the Customs Department, we will be having Żekkin the famous black Labrador sponsored by the Bank, demonstrating how money-related crime is detected. Żekkin will be active in simulation exercises at the Upper Garden, together with another sniffer-dog to simulate the team effort. 

A bonsai exhibition is also being organised in collaboration with the Bonsai Culture Group while live music will be provided by the local Pomelia's Band. Young musicians from the Malta Youth Orchestra will also delight the public with their music at the bank’s main premises. 

Works of art by staff will be exhibited at Polverista, the former gun-powder store magazine, whilst a virtual tour of the bank’s library will be available. This will give visitors the opportunity to virtually visit the vast and prestigious collection of books, journals and publications in front of Binja Laparelli.
