Cypriote Antiquities in Copenhagen

On the 31st of May H.R. Highness Prince Henrik of Denmark inaugurated "the A.G. Leventis Foundation Gallery of Cypriote Antiquities" in the National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen. The gallery has been endowed by the A.G. Leventis Foundation, which also published an illustrated catalogue of the exhibits.

The collection is rich in Bronze Age and Iron Age pottery as well as terracottas and stone sculptures. The latter include also some fine small idols found at Lindos, in Rhodes, during the Danish Excavations of 1902-1914. This is the fourth Leventis Gallery in foreign museums.

The other three are in the British Museum, London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge (England). A fifth Leventis Gallery is being prepared in the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada.
