Wonderful Museums in Cyprus.
The Leventis Municipal Museum
It shows the history of the city of Nicosia from prehistory to the present time and covers several traditional buildings on Hippocrates Street No.15-17. The idea of creating a museum memorizing the history of Nicosia was that of the former city leader, Lellos Demetriades. The museum was planned in 1984 and finished in 1989. Two years later, the Leventis Museum was honored with the European Museum of the Year Award. The museum aims to contribute to the protection of Nicosia's history.
