With the opening of the new Cypriot Galleries, a selection of 600 outstanding works from the Museum's Cesnola Collection—comprising approximately 6,000 sculptures, bronzes, vases, terracottas, gems, glass, and jewelry from Cyprus dating from ca. 2500 B.C. to ca. A.D. 300—returns to public view. The collection was acquired by Luigi Palma di Cesnola (1832–1904) while he was serving as American consul in Cyprus and was purchased by the newly formed Metropolitan Museum between 1874 and 1876; in 1879, Cesnola was named the Museum’s first director. The reinstallation of this major collection, the finest outside of Cyprus, marks the end of Phase II in the renovation of the Greek and Roman Art Galleries.
