A Museum to not be missed in Athens. Perfect exhibit of ancient relics from cycladic civilisation, interactive tables, well documented and explained description. A little gem with temporary exhibit in the old residence and a charming cafe among plants close to the gift shop. (Better book in advance a place if you really want to skip the line, the bar can be crowded in rush hours).
Perfect also for kids with dedicated descriptions for them.

If you want to know more about the history of Greece for the first time, this place should be your first stop, it has four floors of all the history of Greece and its islands, very well maintained with interactive platforms and screens in some parts.
Currently there is an exhibition of the women of cyclades islands to not miss for sure.
There is a coffee place inside the museum and a shop with souvenirs and books.
No need to book pre ahead but if you want you can buy the ticket online.

Permanent collection entrance: 12€.
Temporary exhibition: +6€
Family (2 adults +3 kids): 20€, but only to the permanent collection.

The museum is a bit too pricey. A better pricing structure would be 8-10€ for the permanent exhibition, and 4€ for the temporary exhibits.

The permanent collection is 4 floors, but it's really 3 floors as the last one is really quite lame and poorly put together. The main 3 floors are well designed, with the exception of most of the touch screen devices that are very poorly done and pointless. The informative panels are very well designed, succinct and well readable, in both Greek and English. There is a nice smartphone app that you can download to do guided audio tours.

A Fascinating Journey Through Antiquity at the Museum of Cycladic Art

I had an amazing time at the Museum of Cycladic Art, where every exhibition had something unique and special to offer. The "Scenes from Daily Life in Antiquity" exhibition was a standout, bringing the routines and traditions of ancient times vividly to life. The ancient Cypriot art section was incredibly educational, providing deep insights into Cyprus's rich cultural heritage. I also found the Cycladic Art collection exceptionally enlightening, with its timeless and minimalist beauty capturing the essence of the era.

While the exhibitions were outstanding, the coffee shop could use some improvement in both quality and service. A small enhancement here could elevate the overall experience.

That said, this museum is a must-visit for history and art enthusiasts. It's well-organized, informative, and truly a joy to explore.

Beautiful museum housed in a beautiful building. The temporary exhibit was modern photographs which encompassed the entire first floor. Passing through a passageway, the cafe, and gift shop, one arrives at the entry to the four floors of ancient artifacts. One floor of Cypriot history, one floor of Greek history, one floor of Cycladic history, plus the top floor which was contextualized storytelling. The story was a fictional account of a Greek man and Greek woman and what their lives may have been like, incorporating items in the museum. Very large collection of ceramics, jewelry, statuary, etc. Well displayed and described for the most part, although I found the Cycladic floor dark and difficult to read the descriptions. I may have been tired, as we spent nearly one hour per floor.
We did not try the cafe, which is light and airy. The gift shop is diverse, with many books in both English and Greek, jewelry, ceramics, some textiles, and a section with gifts for kids. Overall, very well done!
