Misis Mosaic Museum

The Misis Mosaic Museum displays numerous Roman-era floor mosaics discovered during excavations, organized in chronological sections throughout the building.

German archaeologists Theodor Bosset and Ludwig Budde conducted extensive excavations at Misis Mound in 1956, leading to the museum's establishment in 1959.

The central mosaic composition features a detailed representation of Noah's Ark, including 23 birds and various wild and domestic animals around a chicken coop.

Located on the western bank of the Ceyhan River in Yakapınar village, the museum offers guided tours and educational programs for visitors interested in ancient art.

The museum houses mosaics from a fourth-century temple found in the ancient city of Misis, transferred from the Adana Archaeological Museum collection.
