After being cancelled by Sicilian officials in July, Sicily: Art and Invention between Greece and Rome will open at the Cleveland Museum of Art on September 29, 2013 as originally planned. Sicilian officials feared that the traveling exhibition, which features 145 objects that celebrate the Greek culture that dominated Sicily between the 5^th and 3^rd centuries, was hurting the island’s economy, leading them to abruptly cancel the show.

Sicily: Art and Invention between Greece and Rome features a statue of a charioteer that measures six feet tall and a gold libation bowl, both of which are popular tourist attractions. The works are typically displayed at the Whitaker Villa on the tiny island of Mozia off of Sicily’s main landmass. Sicilian officials initially asked for more money for the loan but the Cleveland Museum refused, leading to the cancellation of the show. The two parties eventually reached an agreement and the institution will loan several of its masterworks, including Caravaggio’s Crucifixion of Saint Andrew, to Sicily in 2014.

Sicily: Art and Invention between Greece and Rome will be on view at the Cleveland Museum of Art through January 5, 2014.
