Museum of Cycladic Art
The permanent exhibitions of the Museum of Cycladic Art house objects that tell the stories of people from the Prehistoric to the early Byzantine period.
The Exhibition of Cycladic Art inextricably linked to the Museum since its formation, is one of the most complete private collections of Cycladic Art in the world. Marble figurines, vases made of marble and clay, and bronze tools shed light on the civilization that flourished in the 3rd millennium BC, inviting every visitor to look back in time and see what defined and inspired him/her.
The Museum's Exhibition of Ancient Greek Art traces a journey through time focusing on the indelible socio-political developments, such as the emergence of the first palatial structures of Minoan Crete and Mycenaean Greece, the birth of the ancient city, the emergence of democracy and the creation of the first Mediterranean empires, while the Exhibition of Cypriot Antiquities of Thanos N. Zintilis, one of the largest and most important collections in the world, tells through its numerous objects the story of an island civilization that combined Aegean, Egyptian and the Near Eastern influences in its art.
The tour of the Museum is completed with the collection of objects that revive everyday life in a city of Classical times, using Athens as a guide, combining explanatory texts with audiovisual presentations and 3D illustrations.
