This fantastic museum, set in a restored 18th-century mansion, houses a remarkable private exhibition of Cypriot antiquities, originally collected by Demetrios Pierides (1811-1895), a Cypriot scholar and archaeologist, and further enriched by members of his family.
The museum was founded in 1839 and holds 2,500 exhibits, which range from the Neolithic to the medieval period.
In the first room, Neolithic pottery and various representations of goddesses, along with bowls used in rituals can be seen.
