Museum of Cycladic Art

This museum houses a collection of artifacts from the Cycladic civilization of the Aegean Sea. Visitors go here to see ancient relics and the distinct, minimalist marble sculptures characteristic of this early Bronze Age culture.

Getting There

The museum is located in Athens. From the city centre, it is accessible via taxi or public transportation. Depending on the starting point and traffic, the journey typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 2 to 3 hours to walk through the galleries and view the permanent collection of sculptures and pottery.
