Pomskizillious Museum of Toys, Xagħra
Għarb Folklore Museum
This small museum was originally set up by Susan Lowe from Devon, England in the 1970s. It started with one doll, and today boasts toys from all around the world, including an 18th century Maltese doll, a Hornby train set, and a 1930s Noah's Ark.
The name Pomzkizillious comes from Edward Lear, who made up this word to describe the coastal scenery of Gozo while visiting the island in 1866. Lear (a world famous writer and illustrator) visited Malta on many occasions.
