"Part of my mission as Prime Minister is about ensuring the return of Greek artefacts to Greece. But it also means that I have a duty to ensure that in doing that, these collections are also available to as wide an audience as possible," Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in his message for the inauguration of the exhibition “ Cycladic Art: The Leonard N. Stern Collection on Loan from the Hellenic Republic” held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

An agreement between Greece and the United States for the return of a private collection of 161 Cycladic figurines was ratified at committee level in Parliament on Monday.
