Part of the Ancient Mycenae complex, this museum is well worth visiting before seeing the rest of the site. It initiates you into the mysteries of Mycenae's construction, its various incarnations and its excavation from 1841 onwards. The displays run the gamut from fine stirrup jars and fresco fragments to ritual objects, jewellery and bronze weaponry. Replicas of archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann's most spectacular Mycenae finds are also displayed; the originals are in Athens' National Archaeological Museum.
