EDUCATION

JANUARY 23 UNTIL MAY 20, 2023

THE CONTEST

The human being through the history of art, the different eras, everyday life, equality, diversity, social inclusion. The human being today. The human being in the future.

The International Kids’ Art Contest is one of the most successful initiatives of the Museum of Cycladic Art, with thousands of children from Greece and abroad, from special schools and refugee reception and integration centers participating each year.

This year’s main character is the Female Figurine (ca. 2700-2400/2300 BC) which is on display on the 1st floor of the Museum in the permanent “Cycladic Art” exhibition. The human form takes us back in time, 5000 years ago, when humans created the Cycladic Figurines, one of the most distinctive forms of Human representation ever made.
