Cycladic Art Museum in Athens

Cycladic Art Museum in Athens

The Museum of Cycladic Art is in the center of Athens, about 400 meters from Syntagma Square. The museum is housed in a specially designed building on the Neophytos Doukas street. Since 1991 it acquired a new wing in the stunning neighboring neoclassical Stathatou Palace, which is directly connected to the original building.

Established in 1986, the museum was originally built in order to host the Cycladic & Ancient Greek Art Collection, property of Nikos and Dolly Goulandris. It was later enriched and continues to be constantly enriched with new collections and donations.

The Cycladic Art Museum is dedicated to the ancient civilizations of Greece and Cyprus, with special emphasis on Cycladic Art of the third millennium. Among the works of Cycladic Art, what stands out is a total of marble figurines depicting women that served as inspiration for many contemporary artists.

The museum's collection of Ancient greek Art covers the period from the Brozen Age (2nd millennium BC) to 395 AD. It includes, among others, ceramic exhibits, bronze and gold objects and coins from Cyclades.

Cycladic Art Museum: Address Neophytos Doukas 4 / Vasilisis Sofias and Herodotus 1, Athens
