This educational programme invites children to embark on a symbolic journey aboard a festive sleigh and discover the rich history and cultural heritage of Cyprus. Through selected works from the Costas and Rita Severis Collection, participants explore important places, historical monuments and remarkable figures that have shaped the island's past.
During the tour, children discover stories about the goddess Aphrodite, Queen Berengaria, Othello, important monasteries, mosques, ports and medieval castles across Cyprus. Through observation and discussion, they explore the connections between mythology, history, architecture and the Museum's collection.
Using a specially designed map, each child identifies the locations featured in the artworks and places the corresponding stickers in their correct geographical position, developing their understanding of Cyprus's geography while connecting works of art with the places they represent.
