A large Anatolian history museum containing works ranging from Roman and Phrygian finds to Byzantine mosaics.

Antalya Museum, where statues unearthed from the Ancient City of Perge play a role from other works, witnesses a period extending from the Lower Paleolithic Age to the Roman Period. Antalya Museum, dedicated to the three important Mediterranean ancient civilizations Lycia, Pamphylia and Pisidia, which lived within the borders of Antalya, received the “Council of Europe Museum of the Year” award in 1988.

The museum, which was founded by teacher Süleyman Fikri Erten, emerged with the idea of ​​protecting historical artifacts from occupation forces during World War I. Fikri Bey applied to the governorship of Antalya in 1919, had himself appointed as an honorary Âsâr-ı Âtika (historical works) officer, and established the museum by first collecting the works in the center.

One end of the Atatürk Culture Park, located next to the museum, extends to the Konyaaltı coast. There are many cafes and restaurants in this large and green park. It is also possible to rent a bicycle in this park, which also hosts a large artificial lake, open-air theatre, glass pyramid, Ataturk Cultural Center and aquapark.

Museum card is valid,

4.0/ 5

The museum card is valid, you can also buy it inside the museum, it costs 60₺ for adults, it is more affordable for students. It’s a museum that requires 3-4 hours of your time. The lighting, ventilation, layout and planning are great. The works are already fascinating. I definitely recommend it for quality activity. There are peacocks in the garden, they walk around you while drinking tea and coffee.
