Cyprus Car Museum — Attraction in Lefkoşa Türk Belediyesi

Web site out of date. Closing time states 5pm. It closes at 2pm. It states there are film shows, we saw none. It states you can get something to eat and drink. There was a bottle dispenser, but it was empty. Nowhere to buy anything to eat. Even though the museum is in Northern Cyprus, where the Turkish lira is the currency, entry fee is quoted in Euros. Web site states there is a discount for pensioners - there isnt.

Being the only person in the museum I think he just wanted me out so he could take a seat and do nothing all day. A museum should allow a person to take in everything on display no matter how long it takes. It’s a shame because the vehicles on display were beautiful, lazy staff. Time and date of visit...

Hidden in the depths of the Near East University's campus on the northern outskirts of Nicosia lies one of North Cyprus' most unknown museums. The Classic Car Museum, the first of its type in North Cyprus, shows the history of the automobile over the last 100 years, and also gives an insight into the lifestyle of the early TRNC politicians. Most of the vehicles here are owned by the university's founder Dr Suat Gunsel, a lifelong motoring enthusiast, who wants to keep the cars in roadworthy condition, and allow the younger generation to see vehicles from the past. Around 60 vehicles are present, ranging from early 20th century horseless carriages to vehicles of the...
