Gaziantep Museum of Archaeology

The museum displays artifacts from the earliest stone tools through Ottoman-era coins, with finds arranged across several exhibition halls. Items come from excavations throughout the surrounding region.

The museum opened in 2005 as a center for preserving the region's archaeological heritage. A major renovation followed when its mosaic collection was relocated to a separate museum.

The collection displays objects from different periods of the region, from ancient tools to Islamic artworks, reflecting how people's lives changed over thousands of years. You can see how craftsmanship and skills developed through different eras.

The museum is located near Gaziantep railway station and is easy to reach. Rooms are wheelchair accessible with informative panels in multiple languages, and group tours are available.

The outdoor garden displays stone artifacts collected from the region, including pagan tombstones taken from the ancient city of Zeugma. A preserved mammoth skeleton from prehistoric times stands among these open-air exhibits.
