Museum of Cycladic Art CA is one of the most important museums in Athens.The atrium with the café and the nearby shop becomes the destination of the route, an oasis of light and vegetation in the interior of a building block. The light flooded atrium of the café is equated with an elaborate suspended shading device. The shader is comprised of thin and deep linear hollow aluminum rectangular profiles which in array form a rectilinear pattern. The light that passes through is filtered and diffused many times. Solar glare and radiation are avoided and without compromising the luminosity levels.

Τhe Museum of Cycladic Art is dedicated to the study and promotion of ancient cultures of the Aegean and Cyprus, with special emphasis on Cycladic Art of the 3rd millennium BC. It was founded in 1986, to house the collection of Nicholas and Dolly Goulandris. Since then it has grown in size to accommodate new acquisitions, obtained either through direct purchases or through donations by important collectors and institutions.
