Antalya Ethnography Museum sheds light on Turkish history

The Antalya Ethnography Museum is located in the Muratpa?a district of Antalya. In this museum, situated in the city center, important artifacts shedding light on the history of Antalya and Turkey are exhibited.

Antalya is a geography where numerous civilizations and states have prevailed from ancient times to the present day... Before the Republic of Turkey, Antalya was a city within the borders of the Ottoman Empire, where many Ottoman artifacts can be seen... Especially in the Kaleiçi region, there are beautiful and valuable structures left by the Ottomans. The historical mansions are particularly striking. Two of these historical mansions have been renovated and converted into the Antalya Ethnography Museum. In this museum, located in the Kaleiçi Urban and 3rd Degree Archaeological Site, there are two sections: Lower and Upper mansions. Turkish-Islamic works of art are exhibited in the Lower Mansion, while reenactments and objects related to daily life during the Ottoman period are displayed in the Upper Mansion. The Lower Mansion consists of two floors. On the first floor, ceramic fragments dating back to the Seljuk period are presented along with archaeological finds discovered on the gates built in Kaleiçi. These fragments were brought from the Aspendos Theater, which was used as a winter palace during the Seljuk period. Additionally, ceramics produced in Kütahya, Iznik, and Çanakkale during the Ottoman period from the 16th to the 20th centuries, as well as handcrafted glass products, are available. The second floor showcases examples of calligraphy from the Ottoman period, weapons, and objects related to daily life.

The upper floor is dedicated to reenactments. It showcases social life and household items in Antalya during the Ottoman era. Also, the culture of the Yörüks is depicted here. When wandering through the gardens of the mansions, you can see inscriptions on stones, artillery cannons, and tombstones belonging to both the Seljuks and the Ottomans.
