Cycladic Society

Τhe Museum of Cycladic Art is offering an online tour of its landmark exhibition "Cycladic Society: 5,000 Years Ago," which was first hosted by the famed Greek museum in 2016, under the supervision of its director, Professor Nikolaos Stampolidis.

Newly arrived visitors from abroad will soon have a chance to admire artifacts and figurines from the early Cycladic civilization before they even arrive at their final destination, probably on one of the Greek islands.

The Cycladic Art Museum in Athens has extended until April 9 its exhibition "Cycladic Society," showcasing more than 200 exhibits from the museum's permanent collection, as well as antiquities from the National Archaeological Museum, the Paul and Alexandra Kanellopoulos Museum and the archaeological museums of Naxos, Apeiranthos, Syros and Paros.

Robert McCabe has witnessed many of the changes that Greece has experienced over the past 60 years. The acclaimed American photographer first arrived in this country in the mid-1950s with a Rolleiflex hanging on a strap around his neck, on a 10-day trip that proved so instrumental that he still shares his time between New York, Athens and the Greek island of Patmos.

The Cycladic Art Museum presents "Robert McCabe: Memories and Monuments of the Aegean," in parallel with the exhibition "Cycladic Society 5,000 Years Ago." The show, on display at the museum's Stathatos Mansion, is divided into two sections, with the first exploring Aegean life in the 1950s and 60s and the second focusing on 33 photos depicting archaeological sites located by the sea.
