Cyprus Museum

The Cyprus Museum (also known as the Cyprus Archaeological Museum) is Cyprus's oldest and largest archaeological museum. The museum displays items uncovered during several excavations on the island. The museum, which is located on Museum Street in central Nicosia, houses the world's most extensive collection of Cypriot antiquities. Its history is intertwined with the development of contemporary archaeology (and the Department of Antiquities) in Cyprus. It is worth noting that only artifacts discovered on the island are presented.

Today, the Cyprus Museum is the primary exhibit for pre-independence finds (1960). It also features the most recent significant acquisitions. In recent years, there has been a gradual decentralization of Cyprus's museum collections, with the majority of contemporary excavation finds being deposited in local district museums. The museum is made up of fourteen display halls that surround a square center area that houses ancillary offices, a library, storerooms, and laboratories for conserving and examining collection items. The displays in each hall are organized chronologically and thematically, beginning with the Neolithic period and finishing with the Roman period.
