Palazzo Falson's exhibition ‘Snuff Boxes: From Accessories to Objets d’Art’ brings together 200 snuff boxes and related artefacts, sourced from museums and ecclesiastical and never-seen-before private collections, in a show that charts the history of the snuff box through a variety of examples created to hold the once-precious powder.

The exhibition is open daily at Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum, Villegaignon Street, Mdina, from Tuesday to Sunday, 10.00am till 4.30pm until 26 February 2017. Entrance to the exhibition is free of charge. An illustrated catalogue and a full programme of activities accompany the exhibition.
