History
Exhibition
Sector 2: Nicosia is a different, experiential exhibition, which is intended to tell, through an innovative museological approach and experience, the story of the Green Line, a line which for more than 60 years now has been splitting the last divided capital of Europe.
The title selected for the exhibition, Sector 2: Nicosia, carries symbolic significance. It not only describes the geographical division of Nicosia within the areas of control established by the United Nations Peacekeeping Force, but also emphasises, devoid of sentimentality, the shared ‘fate’ of the city under a different light determined
as Sector 2.
Four thematic units, which are marked by the chronological milestones of 1956, 1958, 1963, 1964 and 1974 determine the museological trail, while they also unlock the evidence which comprises all the pieces of the puzzle in relation to the evolution of bicommunal relations and their impact on Nicosia.
