Limassol Art Galleries

(Limassol, Cyprus)

A city where you will be surprised to find a surprisingly extensive selection of art galleries, Limassol is certainly the place to come if you are interested in art appreciation of the Cypriot kind. The Limassol Municipal Art Gallery should certainly always be your first port of call, followed soon after by a trip to the one of the multitude of commercial galleries to pick up a souvenir with a difference.

Tourists often enjoy a visit to the city's Folk Art Museum, while the Limassol Sculpture Park is another magnet for art lovers. This unusual Sculpture Parks spans just over 1 mile / 1.6 km and stretches along the scenic coastline of Twin Cities Park, comprising some 20 sizable, stylish contemporary sculptures in total.
