During the early part of the Greek Bronze Age, the people of the Aegean islands known as the Cyclades began to produce items made from copper, silver, lead and fine white marble.
The Mycenaean period of the later Greek Bronze Age was viewed by the Greeks as the 'age of heroes' and perhaps provides the historical background to many of the stories told in later Greek mythology, including Homer's epics.

We designed the layout of the gallery chronologically to enable the visitor to travel through 1700 years of early Greek history. For the interior architecture we used natural stone for the floors and plinths to reflect the building materials used in the great palaces and civic architecture. We designed the showcases to display the pottery, bronzes and stone vases of the period.
