• The emblem of the Leventeio
The Leventis Municipal Museum's emblem presents the outline of the city's Venetian Walls -star shaped with 11 bastions. Inside the walls one can observe the outline of the gate at the Museum's entrance, also symbolising the gate one opens in order to gain entrance to the city's history.

• Welcome to the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia
Welcome to Nicosia's Leventis Municipal Museum!
You are in a stone-made neo-classical mansion in the Trypiotis parish, one of the most significant parishes of the old city.
This house was constructed in 1885 and for many years it functioned as the residence and the clinic of the Doctor -and Mayor of the city for 27 years -Themistoklis Dervi. Today it houses the historical Museum of Nicosia, that is, the Lenventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia.

• The Concept
In 1984, the Mayor of Nicosia Mr. Lellos Demetriades had an idea about creating a historical Museum during a time when the Municipality of Nicosia was starting a wide plan for the preservation and revitalisation of the "within-the-walls" historical core of Nicosia.

• The Sponsor
In 1984, after an agreement between the Mayor of Nicosia and the Anastasios G. Leventis Foundation, a decision was taken to institute the Historical Museum of Nicosia. The Anastasios G Leventis Foundation readily responded to a request by the Nicosia municipality, buying an old mansion in Nicosia and assuming the expenses for its re-erection.

• 1989
The Municipality of Nicosia assumed the responsibility of manning and operating the Museum, which would present the capital's history. The Museum, under the name "Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia" in honour of its sponsor, opened its gates on the 20th of April 1989.
Ever since 1989, the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia operates aiming to promote the history of Nicosia and also of Cyprus in general. It pursues that goal through its permanent exhibition areas, the enrichment of its collections, the educational programs, the periodic exhibitions, lectures, seminars, and other events. In 1991 the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia was declared European Museum of the Year.
