MUSEUM OF CYCLADIC ART - THE GOULANDRIS COLLECTION
Go there and contact
Museum with a Cycladic collection with explanatory texts and maps about the Cycladic civilization.
On the first floor, you'll find explanatory texts on Cycladic civilization in the 3rd millennium BC, and maps to help visitors understand this civilization.
On the second floor, the Cycladic collection is organized chronologically to enable visitors to understand the evolution of art from the Early Cycladic through the Middle Cycladic to the Late Cycladic. Note the appearance of idols with crossed arms, as well as beautiful figures in movement, which is quite unusual in the art of this civilization. Finally, note the huge idol in the third section (1.40 m).
On the2nd floor, the first section presents ceramics from the Bronze Age, while the second houses more recent objects from the Geometric period, such as a gigantic amphora and some very fine gold jewelry. The third section features archaic objects such as Boeotian terracottas. The fourth section features black-figure vases and two fine bronze hydria (three-handled vases). The fifth section opens with red-figure ceramics, but of particular note is the superb Attic crater in the center of the room, decorated with a banquet return.
The3rd floor is reserved for temporary exhibitions.
On the4th floor, a beautiful painted Mycenaean sarcophagus and a collection of bronze helmets, swords and strigils. Last but not least, the small Cyprus kouros.
