History of Cyprus Medical Museum in Larnaca

Cyprus Medical Museum is located on so-called “medical street”, where doctors, pharmacists, midwives and nurses used to live before. The founder of the museum, gerontologist Marios Kiryazis also came from a family of medical workers - his father and grandfather were quite famous doctors in Larnaca. Dr. Kiryazis have inherited some rare old medical exhibits from them, such as instruments, scientific publications, etc. which can now be seen at the exhibition. The founder of the museum started to collect items, in one way or another related to the topic of health care in Cyprus, back in the 1990s. Over time, his collection grew and 8 years ago, residents and visitors of the island were finally able to see carefully selected exhibits. But Kiryazis does not stop at this point - quite often he meets doctors from other cities and countries to exchange experiences and gain ideas for organizing new expositions.
