Leventis Municipal Museum and Alpha Bank present 'Messages in Metal' exhibition

The Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia and Alpha Bank have announced a new collaborative exhibition titled “Messages in Metal: A Timeless Dialogue with Cyprus.” The official inauguration is scheduled for Thursday, October 15, 2026, and the exhibition will remain accessible to the public until January 10, 2027.

This exhibition features 136 rare coins, marking the first time a significant portion of the internationally recognized Alpha Bank Numismatic Collection—which contains over 11,000 items—is being displayed in Cyprus. The exhibits are presented in a curated dialogue with items from the Leventis Municipal Museum’s own collection. Curated by Dr. Dimitra Tsangari, the project aims to showcase coins not merely as currency, but as historical vehicles that communicate narratives of power, faith, and cultural identity across the Eastern Mediterranean.

The press conference was attended by Nicosia Mayor Charalambos Prountzos, Museum Director Dr. Jenny Lyberopoulou Savvidou, and Alpha Bank Cyprus CEO Miltos Michaelas. Speakers emphasized the importance of synergy between cultural institutions and the banking sector in preserving and promoting Cyprus's heritage. The exhibition is now open for media and official previewing ahead of its public debut.
