The Museum is located near the Ankara Citadel. It houses a unique collection of archaeological remains of from this city. The museum is open everyday except Sunday.
There is a strong argument in favor of visiting this collection of exhibits before traveling anywhere else in Turkey . If you find yourself in Ankara and you're in any way interested in the history of Asia Minor you should make your way here. The museum is housed in a charming building, a restored covered market dating from the 15th Century and is easily accessible from the centre of town. On foot you should get yourself to Ulus Meydane, easily identifiable by the large Ataturk equestrian statue on the corner. Turning right onto Hisarparki Caddesi you'll see the citadel rising up ahead of you. Turn right again when you reach Ipek Sokak and as you approach you'll see the tour buses lined up outside the museum gates above you and to your left. |
