No better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone.

About

Luginsland of Art

Villa Luginsland, constructed in 1887 by Baron Maximilian Tucher von Simmelsdorf is currently in the process of meticulous restoration to recapture its former grandeur. For the first time in a century, it will open its doors to the public, offering an opportunity to immerse in its opulence and cultural significance. The Grade I Historic Property situated in Rabat, Malta, boasts a profoundly rich history, adorned with a captivating façade, wall polychrome paintings by Giuseppe Cali, lavishly embellished interiors, and distinctive architectural characteristics.

Rebranded as ‘Luginsland of Art’,

the villa aspires to evolve into a hub for exhibitions, discourse, and diverse artistic events

fostering international artistic exchange and open dialogue across the dimensions of the past, present, and future. In collaboration with the OmenaArt Foundation, Luginsland of Art is poised to launch its inaugural exhibition and educational programme in March, which will extend until May 2024.
