The icons in the byzantine museum include some of nicest ones in the world. I particularly like the ones with animals, such as the ones of St Mammes.

I enjoyed it, however not all people are so found of history. Otherwise, a quiet place with interesting background.

If you love old art work then this is a must. Personally there are only so many church relics I can view before wanting a change of venue. The history of some of the pieces is interesting and well worth a visit. There was a National Guard exhibit in the basement but it would have been better if there was an English translation to the exhibits rather than all in Greek.

This museum is next to the Archbishop's palace and the Folk Art museum. The main downstairs area is full (and I mean FULL) of icons hanging from floor to ceiling. There are hundreds in there, and the effect is overwhelming, just not in a beautiful way. You can't take in the history and craftmanship, you're better off visiting a smaller church and seeing a few in the proper context. Plus you are stalked by the paranoid attendants who want to stop you taking photos. Upstairs are further exhibitions of 18th-20th century art. They also make the point about Turkish destruction and German art thieves over and over again until the whole propaganda bit becomes wearing.There is one decent recreation of a small church, with a painted cupola, which really has a peaceful atmosphere, but the rest is just too much.

Very interesting with very good tour by professionals. I think that it was best Byzantine Museum that I have ever visited.

Big area and building with historical sense but nothing extraordinary. It's a place to take 2-3 photos and that's it !!!

This gallery is just opposite to my school. They used to take us to the Cathedral for the Great religious days. I visited the gallery few times, always founded it lovely. Used to pass by the archbishopric every day. And always liked it.

I love icons, and this museum is full of fantastic ones, as well as the famous 6th century mosaic fragments from the church of the Kanakaria. The collection is stellar and well presented and labeled. The wonderful frescoes from the church of Agios Ephimianos (Themonianos) are also there. Well worth the price of admission if you are interested in the historical paintings of Cyprus. If you aren't that interested, it's a bit steep. Look carefully on your map to find it as the streets really wind about in that part of town. Be sure to visit those churches in Cyprus that still have their frescoes on their walls.

It was only open for restricted hours. VERY difficult to locate, as no one in Nicosia seemed to know where this was, and I asked dozens of people. Very expensive entry fees, and strict rules on photography. Much of the gallery was closed off anyways, once I managed to find it. No free brochure, like most other museums provide. Overall, not a visitor friendly place, and I visit a lot of museums.

Tucked away in a corner of the old town, but well worth a visit - a large and comprehensive collection of icons and religious paintings from all over Cyprus well-lit and presented. Also an interesting sidelight on the theft of icons, not only by invading Turks but by venal UN officials as well!
