Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens

One of the most beautiful museums in the center of Athens. A unique collection of Cycladic artifacts, a comprehensive collection of the ancient Hellenic arts. Great cafe and gift shop.

We went on a Saturday visit, my husband, our daughter and I. The way the artefacts are showcased and explained makes the experience going through the 3 floors rather enjoyable in addition the curators had been mindful of the children too. So our visit was an equal delight for us the adults and our young child. Having travelled to few Cycladic islands, this cultural education visit made it even more special and fascinating. We ended our visit with a stop at the airy and pleasant cafeteria. There is a souvenirs area with great gifting ideas. PS: You will need proof of the Covid19 vaccination to be allowed in.

Great museum! Don’t be fooled by reviews that say they only needed 15 minutes to walk through this museum:) The museum doesn’t look big, but the collection and information there are superb, so you just want to read and see every little detail. We’ve spent three hours there and it was not enough - the whole experience was very enjoyable and informative. Highly recommend.

One of Athens's unavoidable and essential museums. You should try to visit the top-floor first. The totally new display and the video are just flabbergasting. Don't forget to take a rest at the ground floor cafeteria. Their homemade pastries are excellent. Great sandwiches too.

Thoroughly curated. Almost every plaque has English translation. Clean and pretty cafe at lobby. Don’t expect high quality, but the seating area is a great addition to the museum.
