Is Museum of Cycladic Art worth it for photographers?

Worth itFor photos

For beauty & photography, Museum of Cycladic Art delivers.

The Cycladic figurines — those flat, folded-arm marble forms that inspired Picasso and Modigliani — are startlingly contemporary, and the museum is small, beautifully lit and easy to love. The catch: it's tightly focused, so if Bronze Age abstraction doesn't move you there isn't much breadth to fall back on.
