This exhibition of Cypriot art has a splendid home, inside the city’s old Episcopal palace, which was built in the 1400s but has portions that go back a further 200 years.
The museum was founded in the 1930s as part of an effort to preserve handmade embroideries, metalwork, lace, pottery, textiles and more after the advent of machine-powered mass production.
There are 5,000 items in the museum’s collection and as well as intricate decorative pieces you can see historic farming implements such as olive presses, water mills and threshing boards.
