Visiting the Antalya Museum by canadiantrav
If you visit the city of Antalya you must get to the museum. A great place to spend a day inside either escaping the heat of the day or as a cultural trip. The Antalya museum with it many halls and exibitions of artifacts ranging from prehistorical times throughout the ages. Wonderful collections which include glass artifacts, terra cotta clay pottery, well preserved statues of the many Roman Gods, Ottoman artifacts, coins from throughout history, rugs, kilims, and much much more. The artifacts and relics on display are from the Antalya region and displayed in chronological order. Here are just a few of the many halls. 1. Natural History and Prehistory Hall
2. Small artifacts Hall - 1
3. Hall of Gods
4. Small artifacts hall -2
5. Hall of Emperors
6. Hall of tomb Cultures
7. Hall of coins
8. Ethnographical Halls
The museum is opened daily except Mondays from 8:30 am - 19:30 pm.
I would however suggest that you try to visit early as in the later part of the afternoons the tours buses tend to arrive. Admission was 10 YTL ( Turkish Liras )
