The Cyprus Museum

The Cyprus Museum is the island’s main and largest archaeological museum, and charts the development of Cyprus’ civilization from the Neolithic Age to the Early Byzantine period (7th century).

The museum’s collections are comprised of finds from extensive excavations from all over the island that have helped the development of Cyprus’ archaeology, as well as its research into the cultural heritage of the Mediterranean.

The museum building itself is also historic, and work on it commenced in 1908 and was completed in 1924, when Cyprus was still a British colony. Several extensions were later added for the museum to become the building it is today.
