The Peace and Freedom Museum is on the coast west of Kyrenia town centre, near the beaches at Karaoğlanoğlu.

It covers the events of 1974 in Cyprus as they are presented from the Turkish Cypriot and Turkish perspective, with photographs, documents and military equipment, some of it displayed outdoors. It gives the Turkish Cypriot account of a period that the island's communities remember very differently.
