Goulandris Museum of Cycladic and Ancient Greek Art Description

The Goulandris Museum of Cycladic and Ancient Greek Art in the Kolonáki quarter of the city was opened in 1986. It is housed in an attractive building donated by the north P. Goulandris Trust.

The ship-owner Nikolas P. Goulandris became well-known as a patron of cultural life in Athens, and it is his own collections of Cycladic and ancient Greek art which form the backbone of the exhibitions here. Some of the works of art on display are more than 5,000 years old.
