The Archaeological Museum of Mycenae, which operates since July 2003, hosts exhibitions with findings from every period in the history of Mycenae and the surrounding areas.
The museum built near the acropolis, is implicitly connected with it through an access network, giving the opportunity to visitors to have a complete picture of the use and function of the building and burial ensembles. The exhibition is organized into thematic sections and the findings are divided into four sections, while in the vestibule of the Museum, a scale model of the acropolis dominates the room, and is accompanied by rich visual material, which presents the myths of Mycenae and the first illustrations of the monuments by travelers.
In the first hall of the museum are presented findings from housing ensembles, workshops, religious and storage areas inside and outside the acropolis, among which, the wall paintings and clay idols of the Religious Centre stand out. In the second hall are exhibited findings from numerous cemeteries of vaulted tombs that have been found in the area and Burial Circle B, as well as copies from Burial Circle A. In the third hall are presented findings from monumental ensembles of historical times, among which, the dedications to the temples of Aris and Agamemnoneiou stand out. The exhibition closes with the thematic section of the Mycenaean civilization’s achievements, where aspects of Mycenaean society, like trade, religion art and writing are revealed through the display of the different findings.
