The Presidential Palace of Cyprus launched the ‘Presidential Palace Open to Citizens’ program, an initiative led by First Lady Philippa Kartera Christodoulides to grant public access to the nation’s art and antiquity collections. The exhibition, titled ‘Cyprus: The World, The Place, The Word, The Matter,’ features works by first-generation Cypriot artists alongside ancient artifacts dating from the 4th millennium BC to the 1st century BC.

Following the announcement of the pilot program, the palace successfully hosted its first guided tour for citizens, marking the commencement of the scheduled public access to these symbolic spaces.
