    Claude Delaval Cobham's Cypriot collection was donated by his nephew to the museum because of Cobham's local connections.

  2. c. 2010
    Refurbished Ancient Worlds Gallery shows a sizeable range of Cypriot objects, many from the Cobham collection, alongside Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Near Eastern items; the A. G. Leventis Foundation sponsored a project to conserve and digitise the Greek and Cypriot holdings (Kiely gives no date; read as 'recent' in 2017).
