Presidential Palace hosts first public art exhibition tour in Cyprus

On Saturday, October 4, 2026, the Presidential Palace in Cyprus hosted its first public art exhibition tour, marking the beginning of the "Presidential Open to Citizens" initiative. This project, spearheaded by First Lady Philippa Karsera Christodoulidi, provided citizens from across the country with access to the "Cyprus, the World, the Place, the Word, the Matter" exhibition, which features a collection of fine art and antiquities.

The tour was conducted by exhibition curators Costas Mantzalos and Constantinos Kounnis. Following the successful event, which took place in celebration of Cyprus's Independence Day, the First Lady expressed satisfaction with the high level of public participation. She noted that the initiative aims to offer citizens access to spaces of high symbolic value, allowing them to connect with the nation's history.

Due to the significant public interest, the government is currently evaluating the possibility of organizing additional tours beyond the one already scheduled for International Museum Day. The initiative reflects a broader effort to make the Presidential Palace more accessible to the public.
