Museum of Cycladic Art Review

Wednesday, the ancient Greek cultural and art museum, the collection of items is also quite a lot, the cultural and artistic content here is also worth visiting, the elegant place is also relatively excellent, a lot of good things worth taste.

The Chicradi Islands have unearthed a large number of exquisite bronze-age artifacts, proving that civilizations on these islands scattered in the South Aegean Sea are thriving. The most famous of them are the Chicradi dolls, abstract human figures with long noses and arms. It is very wonderful that these prehistoric abstract shapes have been widely used by modern masters after more than 4,000 years of long history, returning to people's aesthetics.

The Greek and Roman art museums were exhibited to the public around 1800, with more than 7,000 pieces, mainly based on the collection of the French royal family, and many of the ancient Italian artworks were added to it after the victory of the French army led by Napoleon. Many sculptures are praised by the world as the "Goddess of Victory of Samtras" and the god of love "Venus". The "Goddess of Victory of Samtras" was created in the 3rd century BC, high3.28 meters, standing on a stone pier, excavated from the ruins of the temple on Samtras Island in 1863. The Victory Goddess leaned forward in the wind, with a thin robe on her body and a strong body without losing her spirit and texture, and was the most perfect work of the statues that showed enthusiasm and dynamism. "Venus" was created in the 2nd century AD, she is2.02 meters tall, as a Greek beauty god, she is half naked, extremely demure, natural, is considered the most outstanding work showing female beauty.

The Nikolai Gulandes Foundation’s Museum of Culture and Ancient Greek Art is one of the greatest museums in Athens, with a large collection of works of Cycladic culture. The museum was established in 1986 to house ancient Greek and Cycladic cultural artworks from the Gullands family.

Mainly looked at the marble sculpture, which is more modern. There is a small restaurant inside, not bad.
