FTM - Fairy Tale Museum
“Fairytales travel in time, overseas and across countries,
carrying timeless and universal values from generation to generation. At the
Fairy Tale Museum in the heart of Cyprus, these stories and legends meet.”
The Fairy Tale Museum of Cyprus, was built to give
people an introduction into the immersive world of reading and it mainly aims
to preserve and disseminate the cultural heritage which includes fairy tales,
legends, myths and traditions from Cyprus and Greece, and to promote the
universality of fairy tales and the acquaintance of other cultures through
their tales.
The museum axis rotates around the main characteristics of the
fairy tales (deterioration of time, climax fluctuations, universality) and
expresses them three-dimensionally, playing with these elements and developing
innovatively the idea of the magic library. Regular and themed exhibitions,
storytelling events and featured events for authors and illustrators take place
across the museum, but the main features are the educational programs as well
as the workshops for children, families, schools and everyone who loves the
world of fairy tales and narration.
