The Hambis Municipal Printmaking Museum in Nicosia is devoted to Cypriot and international printmaking. It extends the work of artist and printmaker Hambis Tsangaris while presenting graphic arts as a living practice explored through collections, exhibitions and hands-on workshops.
A museum for printmaking
The collections include works by Hambis Tsangaris alongside prints by artists from Cyprus and abroad. The displays introduce different printmaking processes, their artistic uses and their development over time. The Nicosia museum complements the historic Platanisteia site, where the Hambis project first developed.
Exhibitions and artistic practice
The programme includes temporary exhibitions, thematic displays and projects on the history of printmaking in Europe and the Mediterranean. In 2026, both the Nicosia and Platanisteia museums continue to present regular exhibitions, reflecting the institution’s ongoing activity.
Learning by making
The museum organises workshops, group visits and educational programmes. Visitors can discover printmaking processes, see the tools used by artists and understand how an image is transferred and multiplied. The museum shop offers original prints, books, catalogues and objects inspired by the collections.
