About this audio guide
This audio guide to MUŻA in Valletta stops in front of one small watercolour of the Grand Harbour, painted in eighteen thirty by J. M. W. Turner. It follows a London book commission tied to Lord Byron, the poet's farewell to Malta, and the question of what a painter needs in order to paint a place. Stand in the Empire Gallery, close enough to read the weather in the sky.
