The Leventis Gallery is an art gallery in Nicosia, Cyprus. Opened in 2014, it houses a collection of over 800 paintings from Cypriot, Greek and European artists. An International architectural design competition was launched by RIBA Competitions to design the art gallery with restaurant and housing for the A. G. Leventis Foundation,[1] a private foundation supporting educational, cultural and philanthropic causes mainly in Cyprus and Greece and promoting Hellenic culture. Following this competition Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios were selected and the project was completed in Jan. 2013.[2]
