\n The Museum of Cycladic Art was founded in 1986 to house Nikolaos and Aikaterini (Dolly) Goulandris\u2019s collection of Cycladic and ancient Greek art. \n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

Since then, the Museum has developed into a living cultural institution of international scope and renown, focusing on the promotion of the ancient civilizations of the Aegean and Cyprus, with particular emphasis on Cycladic art of the 3rd millennium BC.<\/p>\n

Nikolaos and Dolly Goulandris obtained an official collector\u2019s license in the early 1960s. Over time, they created an important collection, which included impressive creations of Early Cycladic art, Minoan and Mycenaean antiquities, an important collection of jewellery and other artefacts of the Geometric period, and numerous decorated vases of the Archaic and Classical periods.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
