Pioneering Early Photography
Postal Photographs by Richard Ellis
23 April - 19 May 2026
Our First Floor Gallery is showing a photographic exhibition of a number of rare black and white photos taken in the early 1920’s by English photographer Richard Ellis. The prints focus exclusively on the General Post Office in Merchant’s Street and also take us behind the scenes to the sorting rooms where Malta’s mail was readied for dispatching.
Characters in Search of an Author
Paintings and etchings by Stuart Franklin
27 May - 29 July 2026
An exhibition of oil paintings and etchings across two galleries exploring analogy within themes of landscape, or figures in the landscape, and memory. “Analogy is a means of creation”, wrote Pierre Reverdy, an early surrealist poet, and an abiding influence on Franklin’s current work. The title pays homage to Luigi Pirandello’s play, 'Six Characters in Search of an Author’. Stuart Franklin’s studio is in Gozo where all the paintings were completed between 2016-2026.
