On the occasion of the signing of the contract for the construction of the new Cyprus Archaeological Museum, congratulating my colleague Minister of Transport, Communications and Works Mr.
It took decades for our country to finally acquire a modern museum, comparable to its historical heritage and the importance we should attach to it. For years we have been concerned that Cyprus, being one of the countries in Europe with the greatest depth of history, was perhaps the only one that did not have a modern and functional museum worthy of its archaeological and historical heritage.
With this decision and the start of the implementation of the project, which is credited and will be one of the important moments of the administration of President Nicos Anastasiades, Cyprus will acquire a museum which, as shown in the plans, will be an emblematic building of our capital and will serve as a frontline in the efforts for the systematic care, development and dissemination of our historical and cultural heritage, through the Deputy Ministry of Culture. Such a modern and functional museum is of direct concern to education and the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth, as it will facilitate and enrich the historical education of future generations and will be utilized on an ongoing basis by schools.
