The vision of Angelos Tsirides
Angelos Tsirides for the past few decades, he is touring the planet, and out of love and passion, buys whatever rare can find in his search. From an early age he was magnetized by the mystery of evolution of life on Earth, so in parallel with his business activity, he manage to organize slowly, but firmly a rare collection.
Angelos and Emily Tsirides
He wishes that these findings could be housed in a building that could easily be named as the Cyprus Museum of World Natural History. After all, his collection consists of Cyprus artefacts as well as hundreds of others, of global origin.
Creating a Cyprus Museum of World Natural History, will make Cyprus a pioneer in this genre.
It will benefit all students in Cyprus, scientists and the public in general, which will be proud to have a rare science, exhibition, research, and entertainment centre.
Also, it will attract tourists from every corner of our planet.
The findings held by the Tsirides Foundation are about 1,000. Half of which are fossils and the other half are minerals.
