Touring Club Malta

Touring Club Malta has long been engaged in trying to set up the Malta Transport Museum. It has been granted permission by the ministery in charge of museums to set up a museum given a suitable site is found. Various collectors have already pledged their collections to be displayed in the museum once set up and functional. Touring Club Malta welcomes both investors and contibutors who would like to help complete this project.
