The most famous and largest of the dome tombs. A 36-m-long brick corridor, called a drómos, leads to a burial dome. The entrance area is over 10 m high, the dome behind it is built like a beehive. It has a diameter of 14.6 m, is 13.5 m high and was used for cult purposes. The burial chamber is in the dome to the right of the entrance and is not accessible. It can be seen from the main room, provided you provide your own lighting, e.g. with a flashlight.
The Treasury of Atreus or Tomb of Agamemnon is a large tholos or beehive tomb constructed between 1300 and 1250 BCE in Mycenae, Greece.

The relatively new museum is laid out quite clearly. The golden exhibits are copies of Schliemann's finds; the originals are in Athens. Also worth seeing are the small finds on display, which allow conclusions to be drawn about the religious beliefs of this archaic people.
