Art Campus: A Creative Oasis at the Heart of Near East Campus<\/strong><\/p>\n

G\u00dcNSEL’s headquarters and R&D facilities are surrounded by monumental sculptures displayed in the open air, reflecting our deep connection with art. These monuments not only symbolize the spirit of freedom, creativity, and respect for the environment represented by our 100% electric G\u00dcNSEL vehicles but also showcase our commitment to art.<\/p>\n

In addition to the iconic sculptures representing G\u00dcNSEL, the Near East University campus, which resembles an open-air museum, houses more than 150 monumental sculptures. The Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts, the Cyprus Car Museum, the Cyprus Herbarium and Natural History Museum, as well as various exhibition halls located throughout the campus, come together to form a comprehensive cultural and artistic universe.<\/p>\n

\nRight across from the G\u00dcNSEL headquarters, you’ll find the Freedom Monument in the green area, featuring nine horses running side by side. This monument is quite special due to the meanings it represents. Composed of horses freely running in nature, the monument symbolizes liberty and creativity, while also highlighting G\u00dcNSEL’s respect for the environment as a 100% electric vehicle manufacturer. The fact that there are nine horses is no coincidence; this number is considered lucky by the family and is also featured in the G\u00dcNSEL logo.<\/p>\n

\nThe Technology Hunter Monument is another statue surrounding G\u00dcNSEL. Depicting a historical figure holding a spear, the monument represents G\u00dcNSEL’s pursuit of future technologies. The presence of a historical human figure in the composition of the monument emphasizes the power of science and technology in progress and development, conveying the message, “you cannot build the future without producing technology.”<\/p>\n

\nIn front of the Near East University Innovation and Information Technologies Research Center, where G\u00dcNSEL’s foundations were laid, stands the G\u00dcNSEL Monument. This three-dimensional composition features three female figures holding the G\u00dcNSEL logo up high, symbolizing the brand’s journey into the future.<\/p>\n
