"Ancient Melodies at the Museum" to be Showcased in North Cyprus

As part of North Cyprus’ Museum Week celebrations, two special events titled “Ancient Melodies at the Museum” will take place on May 22 and 23 at Bellapais Abbey and The Eaved House Museum.

These cultural evenings are being organized by the Coordination Centre of the State Opera and Ballet Theatre (KKTCDOB), in cooperation with the Department of Antiquities and Museums under the Ministry of Tourism.
