The Paphos Ethnographic Museum is a private museum owned by the Eliades family. The exhibits collected in it relate to the history, culture, folklore and art of Cyprus, in particular the Paphos region. The museum is based in an interesting architectural building from the late nineteenth century, with neo-Gothic elements.
The exhibitions of the Ethnographic Museum include textiles and clothing, traditional carved wooden furniture, Venetian mirrors, tools and various home furnishings, and weaving looms. We will also see archaeological findings, such as jewelry, coins and fragments of vessels.
The Paphos Ethnographic Museum was founded in 1958 based on the private collection of George Eliades. This Cypriot intellectual throughout his life collected interesting and valuable exhibits in the field of archeology and art, including folk art. Originally, the museum was known as the "Folk Art Museum". It received its current name in 1971.
