Museum of Cycladic Art

Museum of Cycladic Art

The Museum of Cycladic Art was established in 1986 and holds a large collection of Cycladic and Ancient Greek art owned by Nicholas and Aikaterini Goulandris.

The Nicholas P. Goulandris Foundation, to which Dolly Goulandris donated the collection in 1985, is dedicated to the study and promotion of Aegean Studies, and Cycladic culture in particular. The exhibition at the Museum of Cycladic Art, and the temporary exhibitions organized every year, reflect these interests. There are currently three major subjects on permanent display.

The MCA collections put on display over 3,000 pieces of Cycladic, Ancient Greek and Cypriot art. Over 500 of these are hosted on the internet, along with short introductions regarding the main periods of Aegean and Cypriot archaeology, special topics, lists of available resources, and information about museum donators.
