Kyriazis Medical Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Larnaca, the Kyriazis Medical Museum is a fascinating little time capsule. It was founded by the Kyriazis family to preserve Cyprus's rich medical heritage, transforming a historic building into a treasure trove of healing arts. Stepping inside feels like wandering through an old-fashioned doctor's surgery, where the air is thick with the scent of aged wood and antiseptic. You'll find everything from formidable early 20th-century surgical tools to beautifully illustrated anatomy charts. It’s a surprisingly intimate and personal look at how medicine was practiced on the island over the last century.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the collection of formidable amputation saws and delicate obstetrical instruments that tell stark stories of early surgery. The display of hand-blown glass syringes and rows of ornate ceramic apothecary jars is particularly captivating.
Visitor Information
It's located at 35 Karaoli & Demetriou Street, easy to miss but well worth seeking out. The atmosphere is quiet and contemplative, perfect for a thoughtful half-hour visit.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a traditional Cypriot townhouse with high ceilings and cool stone floors, its unassuming exterior gives little hint of the wonders within.
