Ghar Dalam Cave and Museum, Island of Malta, Malta
3.5 (344 reviews) Monday: Spent < 1 hour Ranking #1 in Birzebbuga Speciality Museums
Overall good
Place is set in a nice location, away from the sounds of traffic. (Even if set alongside a main road, but once you're inside you won't hear any of it) The displays are wonderful, especially the walls of bones displayed in glass wardrobes/shelves. Skeletal displays are accurate and nicely presented. Great for sketching. The garden section was a bit disappointing (usually when visited in other times, the plants are thriving and flowering) as a lot of the displays had no plants behind them. They presumably died due to the extreme heat and drought. No protection was provided against the elements from what I've seen. The cave has been and still was great (for context I've been visiting for about 8 years now here and there). There's no added negatives or positives. Overall enjoyable, great explanation on boards as to how the cave formed. Recommend for newcomers/tourists.

Interesting little place
Only accept card payments. Even if only for a 1 euro hot drink on exit(so do not bother) Quite small but ideal for a short visit without overload. Easy to find by bus stop .Small display of bones found at different levels of excavation. Steps through down levels of naturally kept terraces and some tree /herbs labelled. The cave itself is quite small but interesting. Ideal for children under 10 as just enough and not too much. No good for buggies or wheelchairs. One could take a picnic and just take in the view of the old terraces, roman villa and towers across the valley Ticket price includes Borg in Nadur

Interesting cave.
The museum is one big room with cabinets full of small bones eg rhinoceros knuckle. The cave is interesting but you only get about 30 yards inside but can’t get any further. Worth seeing if passing.
