Exhibition – Princes of Pylos

These are significant findings being exhibited to the public for the first time.

The tomb of the Griffin Warrior was discovered in 2015 in Pylos by archaeologists Jack L. Davis and Sharon R. Stocker of the University of Cincinnati, with excavations carried out under the direct supervision of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Messinia.

The exhibition titled “Princes of Pylos” will be inaugurated at the Messinia Museum in Kalamata on February 15, 2025, and will remain there until April 26.

The exhibition will then open in June at the Getty Villa in Malibu, California, and in the first half of 2026, it will be at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. Finally, it will arrive at the Archaeological Museum of Chora in Messinia that fall. Every artifact displayed is provided with archaeological context, and most of them are previously unpublished.

The Griffin Warrior, the new tholos tombs discovered in 2018, and the Palace of Nestor itself are all part of the broader context of Mycenaean sites throughout Messinia, the Kingdom of Nestor.

The curators of the exhibition will be Clare Lyons and Nicole Bradrich from the Department of Antiquities at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Evangelia Militsi, head of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Messinia, and the excavators Sharon Stocker and Jack Davis, former director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.

These are astonishing finds from the tomb of the “Griffin Warrior” that have never been exhibited to the public before.
