Yozgat Museum
About This Museum
The Yozgat Museum, while currently closed for visits, has long been the cultural heart of a region steeped in history. Its collections tell a layered story, from the ancient Hittites who once dominated the Anatolian plains to the more recent Ottoman era that shaped the city's identity. You'll find everything from monumental stone inscriptions to the delicate embroidery of traditional clothing, all providing a tangible link to the past. It’s a place that feels like a quiet conversation with Central Anatolia's long and fascinating memory.
Collection Highlights
Look for the imposing stelae and cuneiform tablets from the Hittite period, which are truly impressive. The ethnographic galleries vividly recreate daily life with meticulously arranged displays of Yozgat's distinctive kilims, copperware, and a complete traditional Turkish house interior.
