Artist Talks for Kids invites children to meet contemporary artists among the collections of the Cyprus Museum. Archaeological objects become the starting point for conversation, close looking and making something of their own. The museum is part of the creative process, with the exhibits opening a dialogue between the past and the present.
The second series explores animals. Their representations in archaeology connect with local biodiversity, mythology and the relationships between people, animals, nature and technology. Each artist brings a different practice to the theme, giving children another way to approach familiar and unfamiliar creatures.
Every session combines viewing and discussion with practical art-making. The programme is curated by museum educator Elena Panagiotou and visual artist Panayiotis Andreou, encouraging children to become thoughtful viewers and confident makers.
The featured sessions are Kyriaki Costa on 21 November, Peter Eramian on 5 December and Constantinos Taliotis on 12 December 2026. Each runs from 10:00 to 11:45 at the Cyprus Museum in Nicosia and is conducted in Greek. Sessions are independent, so families can book individual dates.
