The Cyprus Museum

This is the main archaeological Museum of Cyprus and traces the long history of civilization on the island from prehistoric times to the early Christian period. Extensive excavations throughout the island have enriched the collections of the museum considerably and brought Cypriot archaeology to the forefront of international archaeological research. Here the cultural heritage of Cyprus, such as pottery, jewelry, sculpture and coins from the Neolithic period to the Bronze Age, Iron Age and the Greco-Roman period, is cherished and displayed for everyone to enjoy. Star exhibits include the statue of Aphrodite of Soloi, a gold jewelry collection and objects from the royal tombs of Salamis.The museum is a stop on the Aphrodite Cultural route.

The Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia

The Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia was established in 1984 by the Nicosia Municipality and the Anastasios G. Leventis Foundation, after the initiative of the then- Mayor of Nicosia, Lellos Demetriades. The Museum was inaugurated in 1989 and two years later, in 1991, the Museum was honoured with the European Museum of the Year Award. Today, entirely refurbished and with the new “Constantine Leventis” wing, the Museum aims to continue in its mission of contributing to the protection of Nicosia’s history. The permanent exhibition spaces are home to exhibits which take the visitor on a journey through the history of Nicosia, from antiquity to present day. The Museum also offers organized educational programs, tours and other events.
