The Norbert Schimmel Gallery houses a collection of ancient art from Cyprus that was acquired by the Museum in 1874, having been assembled on the island by General Luigi Palma di Cesnola, who was American consul there and later became the Met's first director. Because of the sites that he explored, he did not find the very earliest levels of material culture, which are now dated back to 10,000 B.C.
This gallery focuses on objects of the Bronze Age (ca. 2500–1050 B.C.). Though not surely from Cyprus, the bronze ingot represents the island's single most significant resource.
