Funded by one of Greece's richest families, this museum has an outstanding collection of 350 Cycladic artifacts dating from the Bronze Age, including many of the enigmatic marble figurines whose slender shapes fascinated such artists as Picasso, Modigliani, and Brancusi. Other collections focus on Greek art from the Bronze Age through the 6th century AD. A glass corridor connects the main building to the gorgeous adjacent Stathatos Mansion, where temporary exhibits are mounted.
