cyprus museum印象

This museum was quite difficult to find but well worth the time. The artifacts cover thousands of years and the quality, scope and sheer beauty needs to be seen. The exhibits are all described in both Greek and English. One exhibit was part of a chase across museums to bring back a small but intricate piece of art which is amazing. Other items, such as the treasure trove and the lion statuary look as if they were only made yesterday. If you have any interest in either history or archaeology go see this place. Well worth your time.

Interesting exhibits about ancient Cypriote history. Difinitely worth a look if you're into ancient Greek(ish) history!

Don't make the mistake of not visiting this museum if in Nicosia. It is less than a five minute walk from Solomou Square in Old Town. This was an excellent way to learn about the rich history of the island. Unfortunately, the museum is in dire need of renovation and the display is really quite poor. Many of the pieces are displayed in corners with poor lighting and with plaques that haven't been updated for decades. Made me question whether the information displayed is accurate. It's really a shame.

The museum's collections are abundant and all the artefacts are in good condition. The only thing museum lacks is either an audio guide or some interaction to involve the visitors because although the museum is fantastic, it does require a lot of time and attention to study the collections. Give it a chance, you won't regret it!

For first time visitors to Cyprus this is an excellent starting point to learn about its history which goes back thousands of years. It can guide one to visit individual places of interest spread across the country. Although I have visited many places of interest in Cyprus over the years, I should have made this Museum my starting point.

It is difficult to believe that items 4000 years old can be preserved in such good condition. Cyprus has a long complicated history. Exhibits here from throughout the centuries give us a chance to understand it better. Pottery, bronzes, coins jewellery, and sculpture are all represented. Well worth a visit but a pity their leaflet could not resist making unfavourable reference to the Turkish North where there is much preservation to be seen.

Whether you have a great interest in archaeology or not this museum is a "must see" on your visit to the historic city of Nicosia/Lefkosia. A journey through time and history from the earliest inhabitants of the island through the many that followed as the country came under the influence of so many different cultures. A small museum, and certainly not comparable with much larger and more famous homes of history, but it offers a wonderful insight into the past of a fascinating island which was coveted and conquered and influenced by so many different civilisations.

As with all museum visits, I recommend visitors to go for the guided tour (there are two English guided tours daily). I went for the later and last session of the day which started at 11.45am and ended at around 1pm.The guide was very knowledgeable and gave a good introduction of Cyprus on a chronological basis, from the early settlers to the influences from the surrounding countries and past empires.My partner and I learned a lot from this tour and museum visit - best EUR4.50 spent!

I really enjoyed this museum, especially the room with the ancient figurines. Some are more on the adult side, so be fore warned :-) This was worth the drive to Nicosia for me.

This museum contains pieces from all periods of cypriotic history, some of them very unique and quaint, in my opinion not to be seen somewhere else. Very well arranged and displayed exposition, good explanations for the artefacts. Museum is not very large and can be viewed in its entirety in some 2 hours. There is a kiosk in the museum garden, where is possible to sit down in the shadow and get some refreshments and something to eat. Opening hours are tue-fri 8-18, sat 9-17, sun. 10-13, mon. is closed, ticket costs 4,50 E/adult.
