Museum of Cycladic Art: Skip The Line Ticket

Ancient art that inspired modernity

The stark white marble figurines of the Cycladic civilisation, created over 4,000 years ago, look astonishingly modern. Their minimal forms inspired Picasso, Modigliani, and Henry Moore. This museum houses the world's finest collection of these enigmatic sculptures, along with exceptional Greek and Cypriot art.

The Cycladic collection

The museum's core collection features hundreds of Cycladic figurines and vessels. These mysterious sculptures, most depicting female forms with crossed arms, come from a civilisation that flourished in the Aegean islands before the Minoans. Their purpose remains debated, but their aesthetic power is undeniable.

Beyond the Cycladic

The museum also holds significant collections of ancient Greek art spanning millennia, plus Cypriot antiquities showing cultural connections across the eastern Mediterranean. Temporary exhibitions bring contemporary perspectives to ancient themes.

The building

The museum occupies a handsome neoclassical mansion in the upmarket Kolonaki neighbourhood, with modern extension galleries. The setting enhances the viewing experience, with thoughtful lighting and display that lets the objects speak.
