Guzelyurt museum |
The museum of nature and archaeology is situated next
to St Mamas monastery. The building was originally the palace of the
Bishop of Morphou, and up to 1974 housed town offices. It was opened as
a museum in 1979 after restoration.
The ground floor displays a collection of stuffed animals native to
Cyprus. The upper floors of the museum houses the archaeology section
with displays from the Neolithic and bronze ages. In the second and
third rooms there is a display of finds from the Tumba Tou Skuru
settlement. Outside, items from
the Classical, Helenistic and Roman periods are on exhibition .
