~/f7> (/ur patrimony represents our roots, the cultural

wealth of the nation, the strength of tradition, the

formation of a people. It carries with it the Maltese

people's mark in time and space, a contribution of

individuality to the cultural growth of man

everywhere. "

The Hon. Dr. Michael Frendo

Minister for the Arts

., f .., . ~dazzjoni Patrimonju Malti was established in January 1992 on the initiative of the Hon. Dr. Michael Frendo, Minister for the Arts, and promoted by a group of enthusiasts of Malta's cultural heritage. Many of the treasures and artifacts of that heritage are not generally available to public viewing. The founding group believes that selected articles ought to be presented at periodic exhibitions so that they can be appreciated and enjoyed by the Maltese people and visitors to these islands.

Principal Aims of the Foundation

1. To collect and disseminate information and to assist with research into the cultural and historic patrimony of Malta.

2. To organise in Malta or abroad, on its own or with others, exhibitions, seminars, competitions, and other activities, for the purpose of studying, promoting and spread ing knowledge about the cultural heritage of Malta.

:3. To product' and publish papers. catalogues, books, documents or other material to do with activity of the Foundation.

4. To support and assist other national or international organisations which embrace similar aims, by co-operation in activities dedicated to the promotion of cultural values. ~e first exhibition set up by the Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti (in Spring of 1992) displayed antique Maltese clocks, in "The Painted Gallery" of the 16th Century Auberge de Provence. It presented Maltese wall clocks ('tal-Lira'), long case and table clocks, a scaled-down replica of the famous clock tower (the original was destroyed by bombs during the second world war), depictions of church and other clocks, sundials and other artifacts relevant to the history and evolution of clocks in Malta. Much appreciated, also, was a diorama of a clockmaker's workshop, equipped with original hand tools, treadle lathe and gearwheel divider: The second exhibition was put on late in June 1993, entitled "The Sedan Chair in Malta: Is-Suggetta" . Seventeen Sedan chairs were displayed in the Cathedral Museum, . Included were carrying poles, leather harnesses, lanterns (fanali) and 'zimarri' (raincoats, made of cotton and waterproofed with an emulsion of linseed oil and beeswax); three portable tabernacles ('tuselletti'), used to contain the Blessed Sacrament during Viaticum processions, for which custom Sedan chairs evolved into religious use. This exhibition is believed to be a 'first' for Malta. Full colour book catalogues were published to record both of these exhibitions; they contain well-researched articles of interest to all who have Malta's cultural heritage at heart. An antique Maltese silver exhibition is being planned for 1994. Conseil d'Honneur
