This is my favorite museum in Athens. Firstly, even if I visited it during the covid period, the staff was really friendly to explain their specific health and safety measures contrary to many other places. The collections themselves are really nice and organized and I really appreciate the clarity of the explanations for each item and part of the collection. Please note that the shop of the museum offers nice products, including some local pieces of arts and reproductions of some traditional pieces. They accept the American Express. The restaurant is also good. I really recommend this place!

Amazing collection of Cycladic art. An unbelievable collection including 2 and 3rd BC jewellery. Beautifully displayed in a lovely building. Don't miss Great food and drinks served in style on the ground floor.
Wonderful private institution. The rooms are clearly marked by theme, with modern presentation and not too much clutter. Artifacts are high quality and beautifully presented. The old part is a nice building with temporary exhibits, creating an interesting dialogue between the architecture and the art presented. Lastly, the café and gift shop are not to be missed, some of the best in Athens.
Everybody know Athens is a cradle of ancient culture but nowadays most of the buildings looks the same there. I was walking along the street and noticed this beautiful and spectacular building and captured it by automatically. Unfortunately, had not enough time to see inside parts with its exhibitions. Would be back soon.
The Nicholas P. Goulandris Foundation - Museum of Cycladic Art is a museum of Athens. It houses a notable collection of artifacts of Cycladic art. The museum was founded in 1986 in order to house the collection of Cycladic and Ancient Greek art belonging to Nicholas and Dolly Goulandris. Starting in the early 1960s, the couple collected Greek antiquities, with special interest in the prehistoric art from the Cyclades islands of the Aegean Sea. The Museum's main building, erected in the centre of Athens in 1985, was designed by the Greek architect Ioannis Vikelas. In 1991, the Museum acquired a new wing, the neo-classical Stathatos Mansion at the corner of Vassilissis Sofias Avenue and Herodotou Street. The museum has housed temporary exhibitions of some of the most important Greek and international modern and contemporary artists.
This museum is excellent. We have been many times or lets say every time we visit Athens we stop by this museum. The Picasso exhibitions was well done, even when a bit small. If you are going on a trip to the Cycladic islands this museum is a must before you visit the islands. Also the coffee shop serves excellent coffee, fantastic cakes and little snacks, such as sandwiches and other bites.
Such a perfect museum. An extremely nice display of well selected objects with perfect lighting and great information. Loved every bit of it.
I am a lover of museums and history, so this was truly an amazing experience. I love to learn about history and culture when I travel. Greece is a wonderful place.
