Visit Malta invites Nordic travellers to discover Malta Biennale 2026, a major international contemporary art event set against the backdrop of the island's rich cultural and historical heritage. The Biennale offers a unique opportunity to experience Malta's UNESCO World Heritage Site, centuries-old architecture and a dynamic art scene – all during an unforgettable journey.

At the press conference in Gran Salon at the National Museum of Archeology in Valletta the participants for the Biennale were presented. In the second edition, 47 artists selected from 122 different countries. Visitors can enjoy national and themed pavilions, exhibitions, performances and artist talks held in Malta's historic palaces, fortresses and public spaces.

Minister of Culture, Land and Local Government Owen Bonnici stressed the importance of the biennial for Malta's cultural profile:

“The second Malta Biennial builds on the strong foundation laid during the first edition. Its success demonstrates our commitment to contemporary art and our aspiration to promote Maltese artists and creators on the global stage.”

The Biennale is a key platform for showcasing Malta’s living cultural heritage, where the island’s ancient history meets contemporary creativity. UNESCO’s recognition of the first edition, coupled with international interest from artists and visitors, underlines Malta’s growing position as a cultural and historical destination.

For Nordic travelers seeking meaningful and experiential travel, the Malta Biennale in November 2026 offers:

· World-class art in historic settings

· Opportunity to explore Malta's UNESCO-protected sites and historic districts

· A mild Mediterranean climate that makes the destination equally enjoyable even during winter.

The event strengthens Malta's status as a leading cultural destination in the Mediterranean, where history, creativity and cultural heritage meet and offer visitors a unique and enriching experience.
