雅典更多展覽
On a gold-capped agate seal, two warriors fight over the body of a third, cut in sub-millimetre detail. It came from the Griffin Warrior's unlooted shaft grave near the Palace of Nestor.
The show brings 214 objects from Messenia and sets them beside the museum's permanent Mycenaean rooms. You move from princes' tholos tombs to the rulers of Ano Englianos, then the palace, its Throne Room and its Linear B archive. Excavation diaries run alongside, and a "laboratory" follows a find from trench to analysis. The tablet that confirmed Linear B was Greek is a palace accounts record, so Greek paperwork beats Greek poetry by centuries.
This is the reworked final stop after Kalamata and the Getty, and the museum's deputy director calls it an "excavation diary": come for the digging as much as the gold. It runs to 31 January 2027. Until 15 November it opens 08:00 to 20:00, then 08:30 to 15:30; Tuesdays are 13:00 to 20:00. Free entry first and third Sundays, November to March.
