"Such a nice discovery since we were strolling and entered this artistic structure that combines beautiful pieces of art as well as a big space to explore and a bar that opens at night. Lighting is soft and made in a way that it leads you from space to space"

"The best contemporary museum in Cyprus. 10/10 well curated and professional works. The place itself is already magnificent. For all art and culture lovers this is a must visit!"
Cristopher Siniväli
"A very nice contemporary art gallery with a great selection of modern arts. An artistic atmosphere and perfect composition for artworks. Also a nice library to sit and enjoy reading art books and a bar to chill and get lost in colours and stories of art and artists. Even the security guards are into the Art history and well-informed about Art, I really appreciate it. 💙☺️🙏🏻👍🏻"
