The exhibition Cyprus: A Dynamic Island (11 October 2019 to 15 March 2020) tells the remarkable story of an island with over 12,000 years of history and culture. Cyprus was one of the most important hubs of ancient cultures in the Mediterranean.

Standing in the galleries are man-sized sculptures and portrait statues fashioned in marble and terracotta, colourful mosaics, gold jewellery, and a royal throne inlaid with silver.
