Gaziantep Archeology Museum

Another beautiful museum that is worth a visit during your travels. I took my time and explored it for a few hours. They turned on one wonderful video presentation for me, but the cinema and cafe were closed most likely due to Covid-19. It costs 10 Turkish Lira per person with well translated and detailed information about the seemingly endless exhibits. It really brought my childhood dreams of Mesopotamia into the light.

Fantastic museum to learn more about the amazing history of this region. The collection includes Palaeolithic artifacts; items from a Bronze Age necropolis; Hittite, Persian, Roman, Hellenistic, and Commagene artworks and the skeleton of a mammoth.

Totally loved it! So many things to see ,centuries to relive! Such a great great place to learn about historical eras and observe the ingenious ways they've adopted! The musuem itself is well organized. I highly recommend this museum.

I loved the museum! The collection itself is really good, I hope they work more on the exhibition, displaying and informations they also accept ICOM card.

A unique collection and an amazing exhibition. In comparison to other museums, Gaziantep Archaeology Museum is less visited, however I can say that it is one of the best museums in Antep. It is possible to see various artifacts from different eras and empires such as Neolithic, Calcolotich, Hittite, Roman, Hellenistic, Ottoman and such. Be ready to spare at least 2 hours if you want to visit this museum properly. At the beginning of the exhibition, there is also an elaborate section of the region's natural history, which gives you a detailed overall image. Be aware that the museum closes at 5 pm and the ticket office closes at 4.30 pm.

Pretty standard archeology museum, nothing too extraordinary or special. Still worth a visit if you're passing by.

Seen as a poor cousin to the Zeugma mosaic museum but packed with treasures from ancient history. Engravings, Roman statues, archaeological finds from Mt Nemrut and pre historical human burial sites, this friendly museum is more than worth a couple of hours of your time when visiting Gaziantep.

I really liked the museum, very quite and informative. I liked the Stamps especially. Price of entry is good. Suitable for a weekend visit.

New Gaziantep Archeology Museum opened in downtown Gaziantep. It opened around June 1, 2017, which was only 10 days ago. It's sister museum, Zeugma Mosaic Museum is only a 15-20 minute taxi ride away. These museums have ancient Roman and even Hittite items of historical significance., which was surprising to me when I came here. Very cool find. The Euphrates river is only a 1 to 2 hour drive away. The ancient city of Allepo is also a few hours drive away, but impossible to visit now. This area was in the orbit if great empires, even though it was probably only a village way back when. The museum is close to a lot of popular hotels and within walking distance of the old city.
