The active involvement of Laiki Group in the cultural life of the island began in 1983. Since then, the Laiki Group Cultural Centre has adopted a specific policy with regard to contemporary Cypriot visual arts, photography and major publications, with special emphasis on history, tradition and the island’s heritage from Middle Ages to the present day.

The Centre’s main activities include the organising of exhibitions and events, luxury publications, sponsorships, Museum Education Programmes in all government controlled areas of the island and its three major collections (Works of Art, Rare Books, Photographs-Postcards).

In August 2000 Laiki Group and the Pierides Foundation established the "Laiki Group Cultural Foundation - Pierides Museum" trust. The trust includes an internationally renowned collection of Cypriot antiquities, a collection of medieval pottery, a collection of old cartography from Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean and a library devoted to books on Cypriot studies.

The Laiki Group Cultural Centre aspires to develop into a state of the Art Centre of Research and Information, available both to researchers, historians and students as well as to the public at large.
