The Map House

Very friendly staff who helped me find exactly what I was looking for

Walked in to this shop in search of some maps of Malta and as we were browsing some engravings asked if I could use the bathroom. Was told where it was and paid a visit. My partner continued to browse and unashamedly the woman overseeing the etchings department casually called her colleague downstairs and advised him to keep an eye on me. At this point we had decided to purchase two engravings that we quite liked. The same lady very curtly asked what we were looking for and I told her. She was very rude and advised us to go to the reception downstairs. I was about to return the etchings to the shelf and advised she would do them her self in a tone and attitude that indicated I would mishandle them. And this point my partner told her she need not worry as we would not damage them. It's not like they were a major piece of art or had any particular value. My partner pulled me along and said let's go...as we were headed down the stairs to see the maps my partner told.mw.what the rude woman said...we walked into the reception and immediately the colleague of the rude American woman jumped up and asked us what were after. You could tell that he was the person she spoke to. We replied and said not interested any more. I found the woman in particular to be extremely rude and condacesnding in every possible way. She was not busy and could have secured a sale. Note to the shop owner. We are both art antique collectors and we have over a dozen genuine Maltese maps and other pieces of art that we enjoy. I suggest you train your staff to get to know their clients before passing stupid ignorant comments and being downright rude.

Knowledgeable staff, quirky store. Some amazing maps and artworks. Wondering how they got the large globe upstairs. Certainly worth a visit

Extremely impressive with a fascinating array of vintage and classic Maps that can start and lead to many stories with historical facts. A must visit as the staff are exceptionally knowledgeable and you'd be amazed what they have in their collection
