EXHIBITIONS
Within the aim of promoting ancient, medieval and the more recent history,
art and civilisation of Cyprus, the Centre undertakes the organisation
of exhibitions both in Cyprus and abroad at the request of foreign public
authorities or private intitiatives. In this framework two important icon
exhibitions were organised, one in the Council of Europe (Foyer des Ministres),
March 1992 and the other at Strasbourg (church of Saint Thomas) and Mulhouse
(church of Saint Etienne) in 1994 at the request of the local municipal
and ecclesiastical authorities. The Centre also collaborated for the organisation
of the exhibition "LA FRANCE AUX PORTES DE L'ORIENT, CHYPRE 12e-15e SIECLE",
held in Paris (Town Hall of Paris V) in 1992 (catalogues in the PUBLISHING
BUREAU).
Other exhibitions: "PAFOS, MARCH THROUGH TIME", held in the castle
of Pafos in 1992, "ICONS OF LIMASSOL", held in Limassol Municipal Gallery
in 1991 and "THE LEVENTIS FOUNDATION AND THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF CYPRUS",
held in the Anastasios.G. Leventis Foundation building in Nicosia, October
1996, on the occasion of the inauguration of the headquarters of the Foundation
in Gladstone Street.
In late 2000 the exhibition " CYPRUS, THE HOLY ISLAND. ICONS THROUGH
THE CENTURIES" will take place in London (Hellenic Centre) organised by
the ANASTASIOS G. LEVENTIS FOUNDATION, the Greek Orthodox Archbishopric
of Thyateira and Great Britain and the Centre of Cultural Heritage.
