From the study of culture and collection of historical artefacts came about a complex world of ancient art that awaits you at the Goulandris Museum of Cycladic Art. Founded in 1986 by none other than Nicholas and Dolly Goulandris, their passion in their work resulted in this spectacular museum housing over 3,000 artefacts, ranging from timeless art pieces to sculptures from different historic periods and with special emphasis on Cycladic Art. Though its pastel yellow exterior may be simplistic, it surely will astound anyone with the pristine exhibition halls spanning over three floors. The highlights of the museum would definitely be the Cycladic Art on the second floor, home to beautiful marble figurines displayed all over the walls and stunning displays of delicate artwork from vast time periods in Ancient Greece. With such a breathtaking collection of works that await, art and history lovers must certainly not miss out on one of the greatest museums of Athens!
