Mersin Museum, Archaeological museum in Mersin Province, Turkey.
Mersin Museum is an archaeological museum in Turkey housed in a two-story building with multiple exhibition halls. The collection spans artifacts from the Stone Age through the Ottoman period, offering a broad view of regional history.
The museum was established in 1978 and moved to the eastern section of Mersin Halkevi after 1991. A new building opened in 2017 to better display the region's past.
The upper floor displays everyday objects and crafts that show how people lived in this region over time. Visitors can see carpets, clothing, prayer beads, and carved wooden pieces that reflect local handwork and daily customs.
The building is straightforward to navigate, with exhibitions spread across two floors. Plan enough time to walk through the different halls comfortably and examine the displays at a relaxed pace.
The museum displays reconstructions of Stone Age dwellings and olive presses that show how people lived and worked in ancient times. These recreations are based on discoveries from major excavation sites like Yumuktepe and Elaiussa Sebaste in the region.
