Description: Medelhavsmuseet in Stockholm hosts the largest and most well documented collection of Cypriot antiquities in the world outside Cyprus. The museum's goal is to continuously stay in-tune with the latest research centered on its collection. The suggested conference, mostly focused on the Cypriote Bronze and Iron-Age, is part of this long-term strategy to systemize an exchange of knowledge between the museum and external Swedish and international partners. Another important component in the long term strategy is to particularly focus on young and promising Swedish and international scholars so that the research on the Cypriote collections at Medelhavsmuseet remains vital and dynamic also in the future.
Notes: This volume is based on papers presented at a conference entitled: Ancient Cyprus Today: Museum Collections and New Research Approaches to the Archaeology of Cyprus, which was held at the Medelhavsmuseet in Stockholm, Sweden, April 25-27, 2015.--Page viii.
