Join a multi-disciplinary, international group of scholars for a symposium held in conjunction with the display of the Leonard N. Stern Collection of Cycladic Art on loan from Greece and on view at The Met. The display is the result of a historic 50-year partnership between The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Ministry of Culture of the Hellenic Republic, and the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens. The partnership brings 161 Cycladic works of art acquired by businessman and philanthropist Leonard Stern to The Met on long-term loan from the Greek government. As the single most comprehensive private collection of Cycladic art formed outside of Greece, the works include nearly all the major types of marble figures and vessels from the Early Bronze Age, offering an extraordinary opportunity to closely examine a large body of little-known Cycladic works that have been repatriated to Greece.
