Żabbar Sanctuary Museum
Żabbar Sanctuary Museum is a museum in Żabbar, Malta. Its collections mainly consist of art and religious artifacts that are of historical importance.
==History==
When Mgr. Joseph Zarb was appointed Parish Priest of Żabbar in 1943, he realized how rich the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Graces was in terms of historical artifacts. Being a researcher and a scholar, he became aware that many precious artifacts such as banners, sails, anchors, weapons, slave chains, model ships, church vestments, altar fronts and votive paintings, which were listed in old inventories, were now lost forever, most probably due to neglect and underestimation of their importance. All these objects had been offerings to Our Lady of Graces from people coming from all walks of life. To halt the unintentional destruction of more precious patrimony, Mgr. Joseph Zarb thought of opening a Museum to house and preserve what remained.
In 1952, he made plans to build a museum adjacent to the church to exhibit these artifacts. The corner stone of this building was laid on 2 September 1952. Difficulties from the authorities on the aesthetic design of the museum arose, but eventually the permit was approved. On 5 September 1954, the Museum was officially opened by Dr. Jackie Frendo Azzoppardi and blessed by Mgr. Emmanuel Galea. This Museum was the first parish museum after the Cathedral Museum in Mdina and is the first and only one in Malta purposely built to house a museum. In 2003, the museum was reopened after being refurbished and modernised by parish priest Fr. Anton Cassar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.maltain360.com/default.aspx#110002327 )〕
