Cyprus at the turn of the 20th century

Cyprus : Cyprus at the turn of the 20th century

The Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation and the Historical and Ethnological Society of Greece invite you, on Tuesday, 7 October 2014, at 8:00 p.m. to the opening of a photography exhibition entitled “Cyprus at the turn of the 20th century”. The exhibition will be inaugurated by Mr. Yiannakis L. Omirou, President of the House of the Representatives.

The photography exhibition was organized by the Historical and Ethnological Society of Greece in July 2014. It was presented in Athens at the National Historical Museum, housed at the Old Parliament Building, to honour Cyprus forty years after the Turkish invasion of the island.

Today, the exhibition is hosted by the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation in Nicosia, and is scheduled to tour to various cities of Cyprus. The exhibition consists of 88 photographs that were firstly presented at the large “Cypriot Exhibition” held in Zappeion in 1901. The aim of the exhibition was to tighten the links between Cyprus and Greece.

The photographs depict the daily life, costumes, dances, activities, customs and habits of the island’s inhabitants during the first decades of British rule (late 19th century and early 20th century). Also depicted are landscapes, anonymous Cypriots of urban or rural origin, as well as monuments and antiquities from across Cyprus.

A publication that includes the photographs of the exhibition along with accompanying texts in Greek, will be available at the Agora Shop of the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation. During the exhibition, two lectures will be organized. More information will follow.

Duration of the exhibition: 7 October – 2 November 2014

Visiting hours of the exhibition:
Monday – Sunday, 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
