COLLECTIONS FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE The Association of the Friends and the First Donations

The “Themed retrospectives – A museum for Nicosia” are an essential part of the programme of the 30th anniversary of the Museum. A series of five special exhibitions / presentations will explore the very inception of the vision that preceded the creation of the Museum whilst focusing on people and organizations that have played a determining role in its establishment and the putting together of its collections. Significant acquisitions that have come to the Museum on different occasions as well as the donors who have contributed to the enrichment of its collection during its 30-year span will also be highlighted.
 

Third themed retrospective:

COLLECTIONS FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE

The Association of Friends and the first Donations

 / 17.09 -10.11.2019

 

On 20 April 1985, four years before the Museum opened its doors to the public, the Association of the Friends of the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia was established.

The aim of its creation was, and still is, to operate as a link between the public and the Museum. Moral and tangible support, enrichment of the Museum Collections, public awareness about the Museum and organizing events fall to this day within the Association’s broader objectives and activities.

From as early as the first days of its operation, the Association inspired the people to embrace the idea of creating a historical museum for Nicosia.

For the past 30 years, the Association’s contribution has been immense. Of note is its first big donation, a purchase of 29 Medieval vessels. Of crucial importance was also the donation of personal collections to the Museum by founding Members of the Association.

In 2018 the Association included under its care the Leventis Gallery and was renamed “Association of the Friends of the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia and the A.G. Leventis Gallery”.
