Cypriot Seminar: Recent developments in the archaeology of the Eastern Mediterranean
Museum of Cycladic Αrt
Aiming at the wider dissemination of knowledge about ancient Cyprus, the MCA is starting a new series of public talks titled “Cyprus Seminar: Recent developments in the archaeology of the Eastern Mediterranean”. The seminar will take place on the first Monday of each month in the lecture room of the museum (5th floor, 4 Neophytou Douka Street), and will include presentations of recent excavation projects and new synthetic approaches. In the first cycle of lectures, we have invited archaeologists from the Department of Antiquities and the Archaeological Research Unit of the University of Cyprus.
The lectures will be in Greek, will start at 19.00, and will be 45’ long.
The presentation will be followed by a brief response by an expert on the subject, and general discussion.
The MCA has the largest collection of Cypriot antiquities in Greece (recently refurbished) and is actively involved in the study of cultural interaction in the ancient world through its permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. The ‘Cyprus Seminar’ aims at bringing the public in closer contact with one of the major centres of cultural amalgamation in the Eastern Mediterranean, while at the same time informing scholars and students about recent archaeological discoveries and new methodological trends.
