About Museum of Cycladic Art
Home to the iconic marble Cycladic figurines that inspired Picasso and Modigliani, plus excellent temporary exhibitions in a neoclassical mansion. Kolonaki is Athens’s most elegant neighbourhood, on the slopes of Lycabettus Hill, with designer boutiques, galleries and smart cafés around Kolonaki Square, and the Benaki Museum and the Museum of Cycladic Art close by. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the midday heat and the crowds, and buy tickets for state sites online at hhticket.gr to skip the queue.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Museum of Cycladic Art before you go.
