Museum of Cycladic Art
A jewel-box museum of the eerily modern, minimalist marble figurines of the Bronze Age Cyclades.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
The Cycladic figurines — those flat, folded-arm marble forms that inspired Picasso and Modigliani — are startlingly contemporary, and the museum is small, beautifully lit and easy to love.
Our read - 02
The catch: it's tightly focused, so if Bronze Age abstraction doesn't move you there isn't much breadth to fall back on.
