NICOSIA MUNICIPAL ARTS CENTRE (NiMAC)

The Nicosia Municipal Arts Centre, in collaboration with the Pierides Foundation (NiMAC), was inaugurated on 14 January 1994 and is housed in the historic Old Powerhouse building, which was granted to the Municipality of Nicosia by the Electricity Authority of Cyprus. The building is a characteristic example of early 20th-century industrial architecture and has been restored with respect to its original form. Its restoration was awarded the Europa Nostra Award in 1994, recognising the value of preserving and reusing industrial heritage.
