What an amazing place…. - The Cycladic Museum is a must see during your visit to Athens. We were fortunate to be on an organised trip and given a tour by the curator, very knowledgeable young lady me passionate about the subject. All the items well displayed with English and Greek descriptions. Stunning exhibits and a spectacular permanent collection housed in exceptional buildingsi. The Cylcadic also has a superb gift shop and wonderful restaurant.

A must in Athens - Special exhibition “Women of the Cyclades”. Didactically well done, excellent exhibits. Of course, the permanent exhibition is also worthwhile!

Great small museum - Excellent small museum featuring ancient artwork from the Cyclades, dating from 4-5000 years ago (before the Minoans and Mycenaeans). The floor with Cycladic material is captivating and there is an audio guide accessible using the museum’s free wifi. Excellent cafe and a very good (but expensive) shop.

Must go to place - What an excellent place to visit. So well set out on various levels and the exhibits are very good quality and informative. There is a separate display in the attached building, when we were there it was self glorifying someone and a waste of time, the main exits are infinitely better.

One of the best small museums - It's easy to overlook this gem as it's on a side street without much signage, and the name suggests it only houses ancient Cycladic artifacts -- of which it does have a great collection. However, there's also a special collection of artifacts from Cyprus and plenty of easily accessible information about life in ancient Greece; really interesting stuff. There's a lovely gift shop and cafe as well. It's also close to the Benaki, Byzantine, and military hiatory museums if you are inclined to see one museum in the morning and another in the afternoon.

Worth a visit. - Concise and effective museum that is laid out well and not overwhelming. They also had a brilliant Cindy Sherman exhibit in the stunning annex portion when I was there. It has a really lovely cafe too.

A really excellent smaller museum which I highly recommend - This is a really great smaller museum. It is not all devoted to cycladic art as there are other exhibits. When we were there there was an excellent exhibition about everyday objects in ancient Greece. This was a really interesting exhibition. The cafe is really good as well. The shop is excellent. This is a highly recommended place to visit.

Correct, but expensive - A museum that is not very educational. Which is pretty expensive. It is better to visit public museums, with much more beautiful collections.
