About
The Cyprus Museum (Greek: Κυπριακό Μουσείο, romanized: Kypriakó Mouseío; Turkish: Kıbrıs Müzesi), also known as the Cyprus Archaeological Museum (Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο της Κύπρου, Archaiologikó Mouseío tis Kýprou; Kıbrıs Arkeoloji Müzesi), is the oldest and largest archaeological museum in Cyprus, located on Museum Street in central Nicosia.
The museum is home to the most extensive collection of Cypriot antiquities in the world, and houses artifacts discovered during numerous excavations on the island. Its history goes hand in hand with the course of modern archaeology (and the Department of Antiquities) in Cyprus. Of note is that only artefacts discovered on the island are displayed.
