Il-Ħaġar Museum has announced that due to unprecedented demand, the current temporary exhibition Reluctant Modernism: The Art of Ġużeppi Briffa, is being extended until Sunday 13 September 2026.

The last few copies of the accompanying catalogue, number 39 in Il-Ħaġar Gems series, remain available at the front desk.

“Acknowledgment must again be made to all private collectors and ecclesiastical and public institutions who loaned the various exhibits for this landmark retrospective and who agreed to extend their loans,” the museum said.

A event will take place to mark the closing of the exhibition on Saturday 12 September at 11am. This will consist of a public talk by exhibition curator Dr Christian Attard with interventions by Nadette Xuereb and artist and art educator Tony Sciberras, who will discuss Briffa’s oeuvre with particular reference to 30 of his works.

This event is free, but seat reservations are recommended by sending an email to events@heartofgozo.org.mt. Il-Ħaġar Museum is open daily from 9am to 5pm, and admission is free.
