Mouseío Kykladikís Téchnis (Museum of Cycladic Art)

The museum houses the spectacular private collection of Nicholas P Goulandris. Beautiful exhibits from the Cycladic civilisation (3,000-2,000BCE) form the focus of the collection. They include marble female figurines, thought to have been fertility symbols, which were inspirations for artists like Picasso and Modigliani, and decorated clay vases, placed in graves as votive offerings. Other artefacts span the pre-Minoan Bronze Age and the post-Mycenaen age up to 700BCE.
