The Mycenaean frescoes, the female figurines, the funerary offerings, and the beautiful vases will reveal to you the splendor of Mycenae and of the way of life of the citadel’s inhabitants.

Circle A.? What the findings can reveal? And to whom belonged the famous “Mask of Agamemnon”, considered as the Mona Lisa of Prehistory? Discover an ambiguous burial site and learn how Mycenaeans honored the dead!
