Palazzo Falson is the best-preserved medieval building in Mdina, once known as "The Norman-House”. It datest back to the 13th centurey and it is held that when Grandmaster L'Isle Adam paid his first visit to Mdina, he lived in Palazzo Falson for some days. This palace was the former home of Captain Gollcher (1889-1962), who was an artist, and collected several pieces of art and historical objects.

This house has recently opened its doors to the public after a massive restoration project by Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti.

The museum also has a rooftop cafe, boasting lovely views.
