Gallery tips for Valletta

How the regulars do Valletta's galleries:

• Kids are welcome (usually) at Malta Society of Arts. Most galleries are fine with children; the contemporary ones especially. Call ahead if you're unsure.
• Buy the catalogue at Spazju Kreattiv. Exhibition catalogues are the affordable art book. They sell out after the show closes.
• Check accessibility. Older gallery buildings can be tricky. The website usually notes step-free access — check before you go.
• Buy local art if you can. An original from a local artist costs less than you think and means more than any print. Start with works on paper.
