Museum Of Cycladic Art, Athens

Biography

The Museum's Collection of Cycladic Art, one of the most important in the world, is a pole of attraction for young and old alike. The austere marble figurines depicting nude figures of humans enchant visitors with their simplicity and abstraction -- features that have, indeed, inspired 20th-century artists such as Brancusi, Modigliani, Giacometti, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and others. From the very first years of its life, the Museum of Cycladic Art has sought to communicate with the general public through major temporary exhibitions on archaeology, modern and contemporary art. Alongside these it has organised educational programmes for primary and secondary schools, free recreational programmes for parents and children, lectures, one-day conferences, and seminars. Today, over 3,000 artefacts of Cycladic, Ancient Greek and Cypriot Art are on display on four floors, in the galleries of the Museum, a living cultural space in the heart of Athens. http://www.cycladic.gr
