Barbarlık Müzesi

Barbarlık Museum, a museum located in the Nicosia district of Northern Cyprus that commemorates the Bloody Christmas events.

After the events that began on 4 December 1963, following the raid on the house of Major Nihat İlhan, who served in the Turkish Cypriot Forces Regiment, by an armed group of Greek Cypriots affiliated with the Akritas organization, the building was turned into a museum and opened to visitors on 1 January 1966.

In the events that took place in Nicosia on 25–26 December 1963, the house where Major Nihat İlhan had taken his family two months earlier was raided and his family was shot dead there.
