Athens - Goulandris Museum of Cycladic and Ancient Greek Art

Antique Greek works of art from between 2000 B.C. and A.D. 600 are displayed on the upper floor, earth colors dominating on the walls and in the glass display cases. Note especially the richly decorated vases and dishes, including a "kottabeion" from the fifth century B.C. and a collection of 20 objects worked in bronze, as well as some interesting items in marble, glass and gold. Well presented, too, is the collection of Greek art lovingly assembled by Lambros Evtaxias, who has made a name for himself as an art expert.

On the ground floor will be found Cycladic exhibits going back to between 3200 and 2000 B.C., the oldest being some stout terracotta jugs. Small figures, delicate marble statuettes, grave- goods, idols in animal and human form, and other objects in clay, bronze, marble and obsidian complete the picture.
