Archaeology Museum (Arkeoloji Müzesi)

Frommer's Review

The collection of statues, objects, and gravestones housed in this museum represents a fraction of the Acropolis and Asklepion ruins that the Germans didn't carry off. In spite of this, a visit here is a worthy complement to the site visits, and the curators have even been kind enough to create a faithful replica of Zeus's Altar, saving you from a trip to Berlin. Some other notable objects amid the artifacts include a statue of Hadrian taken from the Asklepion library; a 2nd-century-A.D. stone horse from the altar of Zeus; and the oldest statue in the museum, a 4th-century-B.C. kuros, an early example of the sculpted human form.

The ethnographic wing exhibits a collection of objects, costumes, and textiles from the surrounding region.
