Archeological Museum
About This Museum
People come to the Kayseri Archaeological Museum not just to see old things, but to walk in the footsteps of the Hittites, Romans, and Byzantines who once called this ancient crossroads home. You can almost feel the history in the air here. The collection is a tangible link to civilizations that shaped not only Anatolia but the entire course of human history. It’s a wonderfully intimate museum where every artifact tells a profound story.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is undoubtedly the stunning collection of Hittite artifacts, including powerful stone reliefs and cuneiform tablets that whisper secrets from three millennia ago. Don't miss the captivating Roman-era mosaics, their colors still vibrant, and an incredible array of terracotta figurines that reveal the everyday lives of ordinary people.
