Earliest Finds
Make sure you pass by the cases in room 1 on the ground floor to see flint flakes from the
Middle Paleolithic period: at 50,000-40,000 BC they may be the oldest man-made thing
you ever see.
Ground Floor: Hordes of Treasure
Take your time on the ground floor, where priceless displays range from inscribed golden
tablets to Byzantine mosaics, fragile Coptic tapestries, Mycenaean gold jewellery, regal
funerary urns and 6th-century gold bracelets from Cyprus.
