Description

Music and singing, as well as dancing, were the ways to reach God according to the Mystic Jalaluddin Rumi. In the 13C he founded a religious order, the members of which are usually known in the West as Whirling Dervishes. From the 17C until the 1950s, they owned a monastery in Nicosia, since turned into a museum. The interesting exhibition charts the history of the order and its practices, with costumes and musical instruments completing the presentation.
