An exhibition display titled "Η ΠΕΡΓΑΜΗΝΗ ΤΗΣ ΚΥΠΡΟΥ / THE CYPRUS SCROLLS" is presented in what appears to be a museum or public building in Athens, Greece. The main subject is a large, dark grey display board with white and orange text, detailing the history and significance of the Cyprus Scrolls. The board explains that the scrolls constitute a momentous document, the "Declaration by Cypriots," written on parchment, signed by over 210,000 citizens in Greek, English, French, and Turkish, and measuring 80 meters long. These original scrolls toured towns and villages of Free Cyprus for signing. The first scroll was delivered in September 1971 to Archbishop Makarios, President of the Republic of Cyprus. The other two were taken by a delegation of refugees to the United Nations General Assembly in New York and the US Congress. Additionally, five copies of a "Refugee Declaration" were produced, delivered to the British Prime Minister, the President of the Hellenic Republic (in Athens), the Human Rights Commission, the Secretary General of the Commonwealth, and Pope Paul VI. Below the main text on the board, a framed image shows a historical newspaper clipping or document with the title "THE CYPRUS SCROLLS" and a photograph of someone signing a document. To the right of the display board, a clear glass display case holds various documents and photographs, reflecting the internal lighting. Above, an ornate, multi-bulb chandelier hangs from a high ceiling, casting light on the polished, light-colored marble or stone floor. Architectural molding is visible on the ceiling and walls, and a wooden door frame can be seen at the top of the image. The setting suggests an indoor, formal exhibition space.
