The richest collection of Byzantine art in Cyprus is reopening to the public after a radical modernization! The renovated Byzantine Museum of the Archbishop Makarios III Foundation will be officially inaugurated today by President Nikos Christodoulides and Archbishop Georgios of Cyprus.
Following an extensive transformation, the museum—one of Nicosia’s top cultural landmarks—has been significantly enhanced with a stunning array of new exhibits and cutting-edge technology, making history come alive like never before.
🔹 The exhibition now spans the entirety of Cypriot art from the 4th to the 18th century, housed in newly designed halls.
🔹 For the first time ever, a dedicated section showcases repatriated icons and sacred artifacts—priceless treasures looted during the Turkish invasion and illegally smuggled out of Cyprus. These relics have been reclaimed after years of legal battles abroad, thanks to the relentless efforts of the Cyprus Church and the Department of Antiquities.
🔹 State-of-the-art digital technology elevates the museum experience! Visitors can explore history through VR headsets, QR codes, 3D visualizations, interactive digital maps, and even holograms, offering an unprecedented glimpse into the past.
