Description
The museum’s collection includes a rich range of traditional objects, brought from all over Cyprus and mainly from the Paphos District, dating from the period of the Turkish occupation until the mid-20th century. Everyday objects, farm tools and remarkable folk art are intertwined with the daily life of Cypriots of earlier times. Among them are jars, buckets and baskets, wooden trays, a loom and many more.
The museum today, in an effort to follow contemporary museological approaches, has created interesting thematic exhibitions that offer the visitor a vivid picture of the past. So the traveller can find representations of traditional farm houses, as well as workshops of traditional occupations, such as a scarf workshop.
The space is not accessible by wheelchair.
