The Cesnola Collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Cesnola Collection is remarkable not only for its size and diversity but also for its chronological range, stretching from the Early Bronze Age to the end of antiquity. When the Metropolitan Museum opened at its current site in Central Park in 1880, the collection was the focus of attention, heralded as a great asset to the city of New York, which was then aspiring to become a major cultural as well as business center. The richness and fame of the Cesnola Collection also did much to establish the Museum's reputation as a major repository of classical antiquities and put it on a par with the foremost museums in Europe, whose collections had largely been formed at an earlier date. Indeed, with regard to Cypriot antiquities, it could be said that the Museum's acquisition of the Cesnola Collection prompted subsequent British and French expeditions intended to furnish European museums with Cypriot material to match that in New York.
