“We are thrilled to be part of the family of EFGAMP, and to open our doors for collaborations and exchanges that transent the boundaries of our island”, says Alexandros Kofteros, co-founder of the Cyprus Computer Museum.
The Cyprus Computer Museum is an institution dedicated to collecting, preserving, and showcasing the history and evolution of personal computing, digital technology, and gaming culture in Cyprus and beyond. It is located in Nicosia, Cyprus.
Established in 2017 and officially opened to the public in October 2018, the Museum preserves a growing collection of personal computers, peripherals, software, video games, and related technological artefacts. Through its exhibits, visitors are able to explore the development of home computing, programming, digital creativity, and interactive entertainment, and to understand how these technologies have shaped education, work, communication, and everyday life.
Beyond its permanent collection, the Cyprus Computer Museum is actively involved in education and public engagement. It organises workshops for schools, training events for teachers, family activities, and special events featuring guests from the computer and video game industries. The Museum also publishes its own Creative Commons books on computer history, programming, and digital technologies, contributing to open access educational material for students, educators, and the wider public.
“We are delighted to welcome the Cyprus Computer Museum as a new full member,” says Andreas Lange, Managing Director of EFGAMP. “With great dedication, the museum’s founders have already established it as an educational institution over the past few years, thereby impressively demonstrating that awareness of the relevance of video game culture as part of IT is now widespread.”
