The Ethnographical Museum is a private collection dedicated to life in Cyprus since Neolithic times. The comprehensive rural life section on the ground floor features antiques, basketry, trays, sieves and irons.
One of the rooms is decked out as a bedchamber, with traditional Lefkara lace and clothing, while another features a collection of 19th-century pottery.
In the sunken garden there is a wood-fired oven, used to bake bread for the village before the advent of electrical appliances, which stands next to a genuine 3rd-century tomb. Upstairs there are cases of jewellery, fossils, coins and pottery.
