TGAC was part of the consortium that won a Europe-wide competition to masterplan, develop and deliver a visitor attraction and two museums at the Fort St Elmo site in Valletta, Malta - a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We developed the core narrative across the free-access areas, museum galleries, and experience spaces.

We also planned and executed the interpretation for the two museums, curated the galleries, the collation and redisplay of the collections, including developing content and design briefs and strategies for more than 50 immersive AV experiences. TGAC undertook all scripting across every part of the site interpretation and wayfinding.

Fort St Elmo opened in summer 2015 as a major new attraction in Malta. The site formed a key part of the offer for Valletta as the European City of Culture in 2018.
