Museum of Cycladic Art

Very nice, small museum. It pretty much duplicates the collections in the National Archeological Museum, so if you’re pressed for time, I would skip this, especially given the rather steep 12 Euro entrance fee. If you can’t get enough Cycladic or Archaic Greek stuff, or Cypriot art, then go for it. Good, but not essential.

Really nice museum to learn the history of Cycladic art. They have exceptional exhibition design for the permanent collection which really gives you an in depth insight and snapshot of life in Ancient Greece and extremely interesting archeological and anthropological information. Those who are bored by a typical museum explaining historical facts will likely love this- it has lots of pictures and things to engage you and get a feel of how life really was then. Didn’t love the visiting exhibition but it is what it is.

Overall a pleasant experience. Reception staff gave a brief overview of the museum when I pick up the ticket. Budget around 2-3hr for this small museum would be ideal, especially if you would like to enjoy a drink at the cute indoor cafe. Free wifi available for you to download the museum app on the spot. Bring your own headphones. They offer videos with sign language explanations for a large number of exhibits, which made the experience inclusive for the hard of hearing community as well.
