Kars Museum, Archaeological and ethnographic museum in Kars, Turkey
The museum displays archaeological findings from excavations throughout the region, including Bronze Age artifacts, ancient coins, pottery, and metal objects from multiple civilizations.
Originally established in 1959 in the Cathedral of Kars, known as Kümbet Mosque, the museum relocated to its current building in 1981 near the road to Ani.
The ethnography section presents daily objects from regional communities, including the preserved chariot of Kazım Karabekir Pasha from the Turkish National Movement.
The museum contains two main exhibition halls dedicated to archaeology and ethnography, with facilities including parking spaces, restrooms, and reduced admission for students.
Among notable exhibits stands a forty-kilogram ankle bone of Tyrannosaurus, discovered during regional excavations and displayed in the archaeological section.
