NiMAC was inaugurated on 14 January 1994 and it is the oldest and largest Contemporary Art Centre of the island. Its architectural restoration and conversion into a beautiful art and cultural space was awarded the Europa Nostra Award in 1994. During its twenty plus years of its operation, the Nicosia Arts Centre has organized and presented more than eighty exhibitions of modern and contemporary art with the participation of well-known artists from Cyprus and abroad. Many of these were organized in collaboration with museums, art centres and cultural institutions of Europe and other countries.

Great space and a fascinating exhibition: The Presence of Absence. Also a lovely garden
A must for contemporary art lovers. Very complete and enjoyable. There's also a lovely restaurant that can come very handy for lunch/dinner before or after the visit. Can't recommend it enough.
Unfortunately it was closed during the Christmas period.
