The Complexity of the World

Leonard Stern owned approximately 160 important cycladic objects. He got us into a discussion with the Greek government and with the Cycladic Museum in Athens about this somewhat complicated but logical path forward. The cycladic objects are primarily marble figures and vessels carved thousands of years ago in the cyclities, a group of islands off the Greek coast. It's worth noting that Leonard Stern did not donate his collection directly to Greece. he donated it to a Delaware-based nonprofit called the Hellenic Ancient Culture Institute whose board members have close ties to the Greek culture ministry.
