Yozgat Museum

Yozgat Museum is an archaeology and ethnography museum displaying over 4,400 objects including sculptures, sarcophagi, coins, and ancient inscriptions from various periods. The exhibitions are housed within a historical building constructed in 1871.

The institution opened in 1985 in a renovated historical mansion after the Ministry of Culture acquired and restored the building in 1979. The collection contains artifacts from various eras that reflect the region's long history.

The ethnographic section displays handwritten manuscripts, traditional clothing, carpets, and wooden objects that reflect daily life in the region. These items show how people here lived and worked in earlier times.

The site offers information plaques in Turkish and English and organizes educational programs and guided tours throughout the year. Visitors should allow time to explore the different sections thoroughly.

The collection features a stone stele of Prince Anaziti that provides archaeological evidence of ancient regional governance. This artifact offers rare insights into the area's early political history.
