Focus on Croatian Apoxyomenos and explain the Exhibition.
After years of desalination and careful restoration, Apoxyomenos was exhibited at the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb from 18 May to 17 September 2006. From 1 October 2006 to 30 January 2007, it was exhibited at the Italian Palazzo Medici Riccardi in Florence, where it was seen by around 80,000 people, "greatly increasing the number of visits to Palace". For the following two years, Apoxyomenos was returned to display at the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb.
In 2007, Apoxyomenos was awarded the Europa Nostra, European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage.In February 2007, Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader advocated moving Apoxyomenos to the island of Lošinj, the archipelago it was found in, but he left the final decision to the experts from the Council for Cultural Heritage. In October 2007, the Council unanimously decided that Apoxyomenos will be moved to the Apoxyomenos Museum that is being built as an addition to the historic Kvarner Palace in Mali Lošinj. This decision was supported by the Ministry of Culture.
As of 30 April 2016, the Apoxyomenos is being kept in the Museum of Apoxyomenos in Mali Lošinj. The cost of the museum, which has been under construction from 2009 until 2016, according to the plan of architects Saša Randić and Idis Turato, is around 20 million kuna (cca. €2.6 million).Following its return to Zagreb in 2007, Apoxyomenos has been exhibited in many international museums, including the British Museum in London and J.
