Category:Cycladic antiquities in the Museum of Cycladic Art

The permanent exhibition on the first floor of the Main Building.

Early Cycladic Art since Neolith until the End of the Early Bronze Age. A collection of Cycladic idols and other artifacts in the Goulandris Foundation Museum of Cycladic Art is the largest representation of Cycladic Art .

Places findings are unfortunately largely unknown. Especially when it is a relatively old records or turn the objects of illegal excavations.

The color of most idols is almost white (off-white marble, sometimes slightly blue-gray, sometimes very light ocher). Exceptionally meet really colored marbles, for example, reddish, or other stone materials. Quite exceptional are the remnants of original polychrome. By erosion objects often receive significantly ocher color. (This museum is sometimes criticized for its excessive to " whiten " exhibits.) Another problem is color reproduction in a contrasting lighting of the exhibition. (Even on the museum's website meet reproduction of white objects in unnatural "mood" colors.)
