Top 10 Museums in Nicosia, Nicosia District
Nicosia, the capital of the island of Cyprus, has incorporated elements of the many empires and kingdoms that have claimed it over centuries stretching back to the Bronze Age. Narrow winding streets lead visitors from the Cyprus Museum, with its collection of Neolithic and Roman artifacts, to the thick city wall. Built in the 1600s by the Venetians, the wall now divides the ancient part of the city from the modern. Step through the stone gates and enter a place where the past is still alive.

At Gallery 37 you can see and buy original stencil art paintings by one of the most known artists of Cyprus Christos Kakoulis (CRS) and you have a chance to meet with him. You can also see the world record of the smallest hand painting on Canvas (0,48cm) and the world record of the smallest stencil art painting (3.75cm), both of them are certified world records from the organization of the record setter. Also, we can ship paintings around the world. We are probably the most unique art gallery of Cyprus.

There is so much in this museum and it is so well presented, including narratives on the exhibits. Fortunately, the museum is not swamped with visitors so you have plenty of time to absorb what you are seeing and to spend time by your favourite items - I particularly liked their own version of the terracotta army (a lot more variety in their characters).

Reviewed By peter1107a - Sydney, Australia
This museum - located in the old part of Nicosia - is a great way to learn about the history of Nicosia itself - going back thousands of years to more recent times. The museum has an excellent collection which is enhanced by well produced interactives and virtual tours. Best of all it is free. A must see.
10. Cyprus Handicraft Centre
