Presidential Palace opens doors for public art tours

On Saturday, October 4, 2026, the Presidential Palace in Cyprus hosted its first public art tour as part of the new initiative, 'Presidential Palace open to citizens.' This program, spearheaded by First Lady Philippa Karsera Christodoulides, aims to provide citizens with direct access to the nation's historical and artistic heritage.

Visitors were guided through the exhibition 'Cyprus, the world, the Place, the Word, the Matter,' which features a curated collection of art and antiquities. The tours were led by exhibition curators Kostas Mantzalos and Konstantinos Kounnis. The event was timed to coincide with the anniversary of Cyprus's Independence.

Following the success of the inaugural event, First Lady Christodoulides announced that officials are evaluating the possibility of scheduling additional tours to meet high public demand. These would supplement the next confirmed visit, which is scheduled for International Museum Day. Furthermore, the initiative is expanding its reach to include educational visits for sixth-grade primary school students, which are set to commence in the coming days.
