But the Grandmaster's Palace also has these extraordinary [1710 Gobelins tapestries](https://artsandculture.google.com/story/unique-maltese-masterpieces-the-tapestry-chamber-grandmasters-palace/UAUhKZInQpTAKg?hl=en ) depicting exotic scenes from Africa, India, and the Americas. Just opened and [newly restored](https://heritagemalta.mt/news/the-grand-masters-palace-tapestries-back-home-following-restoration-in-belgium/ ) and they are astonishingly beautiful.

The racism and colonialism inherent in this artistic project is important to understand. But the artistry is also beautiful, I'm glad to have seen them.
