Figurines féminines de la Fertilité Ces figures miniatures, très répandues au cours de la période néolithique, appartiennent au type appelé stéatopyge, elles représentent des femmes pourvues d'un ventre généreux et de fesses proéminentes. Ces idoles ont ensuite évolué vers des formes plus stylisées faites de formes géométriques superposées. |

The
museum was founded in 1976, after the private collection of Paul and Alexandra
Canellopoulos was donated to the Greek state. The Neoclassical building
on the north slope of the Acropolis was erected in 1864 and was originally
used as the mansion of the Michaleas family. In the 1960's-70's the building
was purchased by the Greek state and restored to permanently house the
collection of antiquities.
