Malta's pavilion and exhibits stressed the state's long, military history. The building itself was on the style of the fortresses occupied by the Order of the Knights of St. John of Jersusalem, complete with turrets and battlements. The interior was divided into three chambers.

The first chamber reflected Ancient Malta and contained artifacts as old as 3,000 B.C., displayed in a simulated archaeological excavation.

The second chamber represented Medieval Malta and told the story of the Knights of St. John through a collection of paintings and models of famous battles. Naturally, there was a large display of armour, weapons and trophies captured from the enemies of the Maltese. The walls were decorated with friezes showing the palaces and fortresses of the Grand-Masters and Valetta Harbour, as it appeared then.

The final chamber portrayed the Malta of 1924, with exhibits of precious metals, cotton, canned goods and tobacco, as well as arts and crafts.

Malta's pavilion remained virtually unchanged.
