TheNicholas P. Goulandris Foundation - Museum of Cycladic Art (Greek:Μουσείο Κυκλαδικής τέχνης) is a museum inAthens that houses a notable collection of artifacts ofCycladic art.
The museum was founded in 1986 in order to house the collection of Cycladic andAncient Greek art belonging to Nicholas and Dolly Goulandris.[1] Starting in the early 1960s, the couple collected Greek antiquities, with special interest in the prehistoric art from theCyclades islands of theAegean Sea.[2]The museum's main building, erected in the centre of Athens in 1985, was designed by the Greek architectIoannis Vikelas [el].[3] In 1991, the Museum acquired a new building, the neo-classicalStathatos Mansion at the corner ofVassilissis Sofias Avenue and Herodotou Street.[4]
The museum's permanent collection includes over 3,000 items, and was described inTheNew York Times as "one of the world's most significant privately assembled collections of Cycladic antiquities."[3][5]

Temporary exhibits are housed in the Stathatos Mansion.[3] The museum's temporary exhibitions have included some of the most important Greek and international modern and contemporary artists.[6]
