Museum of Archaeology

After our meander around Bey Mahallesi, we took the long way back to the hotel, detouring to the Museum of Archaeology. Operating under the auspices of the Department of Culture and Tourism, the ₺12.50 admission was covered by our MüzeKart.

This museum used to house the mosaics that we saw at the Zeugma Mosaic Museum yesterday. After those pieces were moved to the new museum, the exhibits were overhauled, and today many artifacts from digs around the region are on display … from the Paleolithic Age all the way to the Ottoman Period. A partial skeleton of a mammoth is one of the exhibits of great interest to visitors.

It was definitely worth a second visit for Mui and me … and I think Deniz enjoyed seeing the museum as well.Læs mere
