Folk Art Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in the charming village of Yeroskipou, the Folk Art Museum feels like stepping into a living archive of Cypriot daily life. It’s a place that hums with the quiet history of artisans and homemakers, their stories told not in grand paintings but through beautifully worn tools and intricately woven textiles. You'll find rooms filled with the warm glow of polished wood from old olive presses and the vibrant colors of traditional costumes. The air itself carries a faint, comforting scent of aged wood and cloth, making the past feel wonderfully tangible.
Collection Highlights
The collection of hand-embroidered costumes is breathtaking, each stitch telling a story. Don't miss the fully reconstructed traditional weaving workshop with its massive loom, or the rustic pottery and agricultural tools that show the ingenuity of pre-industrial life.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find on the main road in Yeroskipou, just a short trip from Paphos. The atmosphere is quiet and unhurried, perfect for a slow, contemplative visit away from the busier tourist spots.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a restored traditional stone building with characteristic arched doorways and a terracotta-tiled roof that blends seamlessly into the village landscape.
