Erimtan Arkeoloji ve Sanat Müzesi

The Erimtan Archaeology and Art Museum is an archaeological museum housed in restored historical buildings in the Kale neighborhood of Ankara. The collections feature Anatolian artifacts spanning from early civilizations through the Byzantine period, displayed across multiple interconnected spaces.

The museum opened in 2015 after three traditional residential buildings were renovated and adapted for public display of archaeological collections. This transformation of private homes into a cultural space reflected a broader effort to make regional heritage more accessible.

The collections represent multiple ancient civilizations that shaped Anatolian history, from small clay figures to elaborate vessels used in daily life. Walking through the rooms, you can sense how different peoples lived and created across the centuries.

The exhibition spaces are connected across multiple levels between different buildings, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended for your visit. You will have a more relaxed experience on weekdays when fewer visitors are present and you can move through the displays at your own pace.

The museum regularly hosts concerts in its multipurpose hall, blending archaeological exhibitions with live musical performances. This approach creates an unusual experience where ancient objects and contemporary art share the same space.
