Description

A columned classical-style facade with a triangular pediment and a tiled roof dominates the view, with a dark doorway between the columns and a short flight of steps leading up to it. Tall palm trees frame the building on both sides, and wrought-iron gates and railings run along the forecourt in the foreground. The printed caption 'CYPRUS MUSEUM' appears in the lower right corner.
