In the year 2001 the permanent exhibition of the Archaeological Museum of Mystras was reorganized under a new theme, indexing and presentation, in order to demonstrate the most recent conclusions of the archaeological and historical survey. The new exhibition, under the theme "Byzantium and the West: The experience of the later byzantine city of Mystras", focuses to the relations and contacts between the Byzantine state and the West.

The exhibition of the museum includes a large number of vases, ranging from the prehistoric to the late Hellenistic period (25th-1st century B.C.), grave statues, stelae and funerary urns from Rheneia, and very few finds from Mykonos.

The archaeological sites of Mycenae and Tiryns are the imposing ruins of the two greatest cities of the Mycenaean civilization, which dominated the eastern Mediterranean world from the 15th to the 12th century B.C. and played a vital role in the development of classical Greek culture. These two cities are indissolubly linked to the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, which have influenced European art and literature for more than three millennia.
