Mardin Museum, Archaeological and ethnographic museum in Mardin, Turkey.

The museum occupies a three-story limestone building with decorated vaults, arches, and columns facing the ancient town square of Mardin.

The structure, built in 1895 as the Syriac Catholic Patriarchate, transformed into a museum in 2000 after restoration by the Ministry of Culture.

The ethnography section displays regional silver jewelry, traditional copper items, and local coffee sets known as mırra, representing daily life in Mardin.

The museum remains open Tuesday through Sunday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, offering guided tours and educational workshops for visitors.

The building connects to its administrative unit through a suspension bridge, featuring specialized areas including a 3D theater and artifact forgery exhibition.
