Şanlıurfa Archaeological Museum, Archaeological museum in Şanlıurfa Province, Turkey.
The museum complex encompasses 34,000 square meters with two main buildings, featuring extensive archaeological and mosaic exhibition spaces across multiple halls.
Established in 1969, the museum initially displayed artifacts in an elementary school before relocating to its current expanded location in 2015.
The museum houses the Orpheus mosaic from 184 AD, which returned from Dallas Museum in 2015 after its illegal removal from Turkey.
The facility maintains different seasonal schedules, operating from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM during summer and 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM in winter months.
The collection includes a 9500-year-old life-sized human sculpture known as the Urfa Man, representing one of the earliest human representations.
