In November 2010, the Museum of Cycladic Art announced that it will support a lecture series about the ancient art of the Cyclades and other regions of ancient Greek world, by establishing an endowment fund to the Greek and Roman Department of the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art.
The lectures series are in the fondest memory of Dolly Goulandris, who founded the Museum in 1986. Dr. Thomas P. Campbell, Director of the Metropolitan Museum, welcomed the gift and stressed, "the scholarly activities of the Department of Greek and Roman Art have been greatly enhanced, transforming it into a major centre for the study of early Cycladic sculpture". Following Dr Campbell's welcome note, the event continued with the speeches of Dr Carlos Picon, curator-in-charge of Greek and Roman Art at the Metropolitan Museum, then Dr. Nicholas Chr. Stampolidis, Director of the Museum of Cycladic Art, and Sandra Marinopoulos, President of the Museum of Cycladic Art.
Watching this presentation I was touched, inspired, enriched and proud of Sandra and her team at the Cycladic Museum
Congratulations! Your vision is great and we should all support it.
