If cultural rest is an integral part of your vacation, then you can hardly ignore the Historical Museum in Protaras. There are not many museums in the city, and he is one of the most popular.

Despite the fact that the museum collection reflects the history of Protaras, exhibits of the period of antiquity or the era of Ancient Byzantium are almost non-existent, but art and life of local residents of the 19th century are very detailed.

The museum space is divided into two thematic zones. Exhibits of the first tell visitors about the events of the ancient history of Cyprus. Here are well-preserved fragments of ancient frescoes, mosaics that once decorated houses, sculpture, as well as various kitchen utensils, tools, garments.

The collection of the second part of the exposition devoted to the new history of the island is much richer .This section consists of several diverse exhibitions, which traditionally attract visitors of great interest .For example, an impressive collection of historic vehicles - from the simplest wheelbarrows for the transport of goods and carts for poor residents to exquisite coaches of noble family .An interesting collection of toys, played by local children decades ago .Dolls and doll clothes, cars, tiny dishes - not only the young guests of the museum, but their parents are delayed at exhibition stands with these exhibits .Lovers of arts and crafts will be attracted by the exhibition of pottery .That here only is not present: plates, vessels for drinks, vases, pitchers and pots of the various sizes .
