The Deryneia Folk Art Museum is found in an old, traditional house at 2, Demetris Lipertis Street. The displays are organised in collaboration with the Cyprus Handicraft Service.
The indoor and outdoor areas, as well as, the exhibitions with the different household items and farming tools show how functional the Cypriot, traditional house use to be. All items have been kindly donated by the residents of Deryneia and other neighbouring areas. The presence of Mrs. Margarita and Mr. Varnavas Hadjiliassi give life to the place and are happy to give tours of the museum.
In the courtyard there is an oven which Mrs. Margarita often uses to bake bread and rolls.
Mr. and Mrs. Hadjiliassi donated the Folk Art and Craft Museum to the Community, in memory of their three children who they lost at an early age. The museum has also been declared a scheduled building and was renovated by the Municipality under the supervision of the Town Planning and Housing Department.
