Byzantine Museum, Nicosia District, Cyprus
4.0 (14 reviews) Spent < 1 hour Ranking #5 in Pedoulas Speciality Museums
Amazing collection!
Arrived just as the caretaker was about to head home for lunch. Luckily he offered to stay and we were able to spend 30 minutes viewing the Byzantine icons and religious pieces from the Troodos Mountains churches and monasteries. The collection is absolutely fantastic and the museum is free-donations appreciated and there is a small shop.

SMALL BUT WORTHWHILE
Congratulations to people of Pedoulas village for the effort to create this small, but very interesting Byzantine Museum, trying to save our Heritage civilazation.Pedoulas is not New York London or Paris to have big and impressive museums, so is not a matter of a super- numeric collection but is a matter of quality of what you see. I liked it a lot, as in this Museum i have seen well-kept valuable Icons from 14th century, so my advice to those are interested, is that if you are at Pedoulas, visit both the Byzantine Museum and the just opposite Archangelos Michael Church that is under UNESCO.

Interesting Coins
This small, local museum assumes an existing knowledge of the history of the region. There is a worthwhile display of coins across Byzantine, Venetian, and Turkish eras, as well as numerous wooden painted icons. The manuscript pages are copies. There are also miscellaneous church accoutrements. This museum is better suited for aficionados, not casual tourists.
