The Kyriazis Medical Museum in Larnaca, Cyprus was established in 2011.〔Politis newspaper 19 October 2011, p. 50〕 It displays medical items, books, and framed documents relating to the practice of Cypriot medicine and the history of medicine in Cyprus, from antiquity to the 20th century. It is sometimes referred to as a Medical Museum—the only one in Cyprus.〔 A sign on the facade says: "Larnaka Cultural Walk - Kyriazis Medical Museum - A unique in its kind museum in Cyprus which presents the medical, healing and health history of the island." It is located on Karaolis and Dimitriou Street. It is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 AM to 12.30. Entrance is free. The Museum organises cultural events, lectures for the public and activities with medical interest. It also functions as a 'health hangout' for healthcare professionals and the general public alike. ==History== It was opened by Cyprus Health Minister Stavros Malas in October 2011.〔Philelephtheros newspaper, 15 October 2011〕 Its founder is Marios Kyriazis,〔Prima Scala magazine, p. 44 June 2012〕 a descendant of four generations of doctors and pharmacists in Larnaca. It is housed in a traditional restored and listed town mansion, donated by Kyriazis.〔Iatrikos Kosmos, Journal of the Cyprus medical Association February 2012, p. 12〕 Kyriazis has donated items including items and books inherited from his grandfather Neoclis Kyriazis (1878–1956) and from his great grandfather Antonios Tsepis (1843–1905) both of whom practiced in Larnaca. The collections of the museum begun in 1990 but due to lack of suitable space the items remained stored, although occasionally, these were exhibited within other medical or historical exhibitions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kyriazis Medical Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
