Ten Early Cycladic figurines of the Leonard Stern Collection exhibit at the Museum of Cycladic Art from November 3, 2022 to October 31, 2023, as part of an agreement by the Greek Ministry of Culture, the Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Archaeologists, conservators, and ministry employees called the agreement “a scandal”. "These objects have not been checked legally as to whether they are authentic or fake, or how they got from the Cyclades to the collection of a multimillionaire in New York," they said in the statement.
