Welcome to the Mycenaean Foundation, where history meets innovation and education inspires global connections. Established in 1967 by the renowned archaeologist George Mylonas, our non-profit organization is dedicated to exploring the ancient wonders of the Aegean world, preserving their legacy, and making their stories accessible to future generations.
With its roots in the U.S. and its heart in Greece, the Foundation bridges cultures, disciplines, and time itself. From sponsoring archaeological excavations at iconic sites like Mycenae and Lamia to supporting cutting-edge research and scholarly publications, we are committed to advancing knowledge and fostering collaboration across the humanities, arts, and sciences.
Our mission extends far beyond excavation. The Mycenaean Foundation provides a hub for international scholars, students, and researchers, offering state-of-the-art facilities, including libraries, study spaces, and laboratories. Through immersive study-abroad programs and hands-on archaeological training, we connect students from all over the world to the rich cultural heritage of Greece, combining education with exploration and research with real-world experience.
