What a little gem this private collection is. I think the way it has been displayed through the ages as you walk round gives you a idea of how important and rare the items are. The glass exhibit is amazing that they have survived so many hundreds of years. Although not massive in size as its only one floor of a private residency it has been well thought out. Worth every bit of the 3€ entrance fee. …

A small museum that holds quite a few ancient Cypriot artifacts from statutes to clay pots and lanterns to small glass bottlers and vials. Takes less than an hour to see, but is worth a visit if you are in Larnaca anyway. Admission was only 3 euros.

I had the opportunity to visit this museum yesterday. The first floor is the museum and second floor is still private residence of the current members from the Pierides family. The family's love for their country is unprecidented. The artifacts collected and exhibited include those from almost 10000years ago. Ensure to start from the left of the counter and work yourselves around till you reach the counter on the right. The vases, maps and religious items are so interesting and valuable to the Cyprus history. One-time visit at least is mandatory if you are in Larnaca!…
