An original account by the curator, Cynthia de Giorgio on The Majestic Tapestries found within St John's Co-Cathedral.
These magnificent tapestries were gifted to the conventual church by Gand Master Ramon Perrellos. They were based on a set of modelli by Peter Paul Rubens in around 1620 and delivered to Malta in February 1702. The tapestries were painstakingly hand woven in Brussels by a team of weavers and can be seen at the St John’s Co-cathedral Museum. The collection is currently scattered between a number of rooms, however they will be re-united as a dramatic and complete set upon realisation of the museum renovation project.
Please feel free to share with the world this breath taking national gem.
