The New Cypriot Galleries
Opened April 5, 2000
Cypriot Art, 2nd floor
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.
