The famous Mycenaean cuirass from Dendra is to be moved to the Archaeological Museum of Corinth.
The armour has been recently chemically re-analysed in order to establish the best restoration procedure.
The armour, which weights 15kg will be exhibited along with other artifacts recovered from the chamber tomb that it was found in 1960.
For more information on the cuirass (and the remains of the boar-tusk helmet found with it) take a look at:
