- Ancient Greek art: this permanent collection on this floor enables you to discover the origin and later development of one of humanity’s most transcendent civilisations and the founder of democracy.
- Cypriot art: this floor address the history of the different ancient communities and civilisations that have colonised the island of Cyprus, a strategic point for the control of the Eastern Mediterranean.
