The exhibition forms part of the Gozo Ministry’s ‘Easter in Gozo’ programme. The stamp section at Il-Ħaġar is run by the Gozo Philatelic Society (GPS).
Most of the stamps were issued by small islands, using images from paintings in museums and churches. Theissuers include Anguilla, Nicaragua, Niue, St Lucia, Ras al Khaima, Cook Islands and Penrhyn.
The Easter greeting cards are quite old, dating from the mid- and early 20th century.
They are mostly Italian and some were colourised manually at a time when multicoloured printing was non-existent. Some of the cards are reproductions of paintings, featuring biblical scenes.
Visitors to the exhibition can freely obtain copies of the GPS quarterly periodical. These full-colour periodicals include a variety of articles, not limited to just stamp collection.
Il-Ħaġar cultural centre is open daily between 9am and 5pm. Entrance is free.

The full colour detailed publication, compiled by Mark-Anthony Poulton, has been well received since its launch.
The GPS is very well known for these productions, designed by resident artist Anthony Grech, to commemorate events and for stamps connected with Gozo. The GPS said that “regular subscribers include those who are not really philatelists but are more interested in Melitensia.”
That on level -1 shows over twenty of the original designs used for these productions. This continues till mid June. As usual visitors can pick up copies of the GPS Newsletter, crammed with assorted articles. Il-Hagar, which is located in St George’s Square, Victoria, is open seven days a week from 9am to 5pm, without any entrance fee.

A ‘special’ exhibition marking Il-Ħaġar museum’s 10th anniversary year is set up by the Gozo Philatelic Society. The exhibition features social philately items connected with the Napoleonic period in Malta. The display is also a prelude to the society’s silver jubilee next year. It offers a range of documentary originals and reproductions connected with the presence of Napoleon Bonaparte in Malta in 1798. These items are complemented with several covers and stamps that admirably help the visitor understand the situation in that period. Several items on display are from the personal collection of the Gozo Philatelic Society president, Jesmond Borg.
The permanent exhibits at level 3 include correspondence between archpriest Saverio Cassar and the village representatives during the months that Gozo remained autonomous after the French garrison was forced to retreat from the island in 1798.
Visitors to the exhibition can obtain copies of the society’s full colour periodical which includes material that goes beyond simple stamp collecting.

Philately related to opera being exhibited at Il-Ħaġar museum
Items on display include unique signed covers of the main protagonists of Carmen.
The Gozo Philatelic Society showcase at Il-Ħaġar Museum in Victoria currently features items related to opera. The theme, ‘Opera is Gozo’, is the Gozo Ministry’s initiative for the month of October. Items on display include unique signed covers of the main protagonists of the opera Carmen held staged in 2010 and other philatelic covers celebrating composers and opera houses. The exhibition could be considered as an introduction to the society’s annual exhibition held at the Gozo Ministry. Because of structural works at the ministry halls, this year the exhibition will be held at Il-Ħaġar, opening for a fortnight on November 12. The ‘Opera is Gozo’ exhibition is open seven days a week from 9am to 5pm. Entrance is free.
Annual GPS Exhibition @ Il-Ħaġar
Since its foundation, the Gozo Philatelic Society has been holding its successful annual Exhibition at the Gozo Ministry Halls. Because of structural problems, this has not been possible this year and Il-Ħaġar museum has accepted to host it. The site is different and that means various innovatory adjustments, including wider times.
The exhibits, both Junior and Open, will be housed on levels -1 and 1 as well as Audio Visual Hall 1. The level is guaranteed to be very good, with traditional presentations, postal history and social philately.
Specially prepared personalized stamps and covers, supported by MaltaPost, will be available. A complete collection of these will also be on display. Further incentives will be packs of free stamps and copies of the GPS periodical for all.
Numerous institutions have been supportive.
The 24th Annual GPS Exhibition will open on Sunday 12 November at 10am, to be dismantled on Saturday 25th in the afternoon. Entrance to this cultural centre in Victoria’s St George’s Square is always free, 9am to 5pm seven days a week.

The Gozo Philatelic Society has set up a display of stamps and postal material at Il-Ħaġar museum in Victoria. The collection belonged to Wolfgang Juncker, a prominent German Melitensia philatelist who donated his collection to the society. The Maltese postal system was among the first to be set up like other countries, but the first Malta stamp only appeared in 1860.
However, since this was not valid for overseas mail, Malta continued to use British stamps. Collectors appreciate the rarity of letters posted from these islands but even loose stamps are of great interest if the postmark is clear enough. In fact, most correspondence from Malta would show either an “A25” cancellation or just an “M”.
Besides Queen Victoria stamps, the exhibits include various antique letters which in those early days were normally folded in the form of an envelope. One of these belonged to Gozo bishop Pietro Pace, who writing to Rome, used a 2½d mauve stamp, with an identifiable seal.
Seals can also be seen on many others, posted in Gozo or Malta, addressed to Italian countries such as Genoa, Livorno, Messina and Naples. One letter underwent a long voyage away from the European continent: to New York! The earliest is dated 1870. The British stamps used include the penny Red, twopenny Blue, 4d Orange and the halfpenny.
The 16th Annual Exhibition was another successful event. A special postmark was issued for the occasion on the 6th November, 2015. A video was also shown during the official opening which depicted most of the stamps issued with Gozo's connection.
The Gozo Philatelic Exhibition 2015 application form together with the regulations is now out. To view the application form click here.
