An important collection of Indian funerary objects, many examples of Cypriot sculpture and, more recently, numerous European works of art from the last two centuries, form the highlights of this important university museum.

Also worth seeing is the sculpture garden, laid out only in recent years on the south side of the museum, devoted exclusively to bronzes by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin - 20 works in all - including the "Gates of Hell", the group-sculpture "Adam and Eve", "The Spirit of Eternal Rest" and several male figures.
