Near the Limassol Public Gardens is the Limassol District Archeological Museum. It houses an interesting collection of antiquities found in the Limassol area from the Neolithic Age to the Roman period.

It has a pleasant garden containing a sundial, which was once owned by Lord Kitchener.

Room One contains Neolithic tools and pottery covering a huge time span from 3000 B.C. to A.D. 1300 from Amathus, Kourion and Limassol itself.

There are six amphorae in one corner from 2,300 B.C.

Room Two has figurines and jewelry from 1700 B.C., Roman coins and even early razor blades. Also of interest is a bronze bull.

Room Three contains some of the most important finds, including statues of the Egyptian god Bes and Artemis found at Amathus and some other fragments of statues representing other deities.
