Cyprus Museum, Nicosia
♫ Thursday, April 14th, 2011The Cyprus Museum is world-class in every way, with a treasury of millenniaold finds, from the earliest Stone Age and Bronze Age civilizations through to the remnants of the great Christian Byzantine Empire, laid out in a way that brings the island’s unique heritage back to life. Housed in a gracious historic building, the museum also benefits from its compact size and lack of crowds, making for a leisurely visit. If you’re interested in the ancient world everything in the collection is worth seeing but, above all, don’t miss the wonderful collection of ancient terracotta warriors and charioteers – some the size of toy soldiers, others as large as life – who gaze at you in Room 3 and seem almost eerily poised to step from their display to conquer the island once again.
