One of Turkey’s most important museums, the Antalya Archaeological Museum houses a vast collection of artifacts spanning from the prehistoric era to the Byzantine period.

Its highlights include exquisitely carved Roman statues from Perge, intricate sarcophagi, mosaics, and artifacts from ancient Lycian, Pamphylian, and Pisidian civilizations.

The museum is thoughtfully curated, with rooms dedicated to mythology, emperors, children, and even a special section for coinage and icons.

Each hall offers a deeper understanding of the rich history of the region, beautifully brought to life through detailed displays.

Located close to Antalya’s city center, this museum is a must-visit for those seeking a deeper cultural context before or after exploring nearby archaeological sites.
