Description of the attraction
Located next to Konak Square, the Archaeological Museum has a rich collection of antiquities, mostly found during the excavations of Pergamon. Many amphorae, columns and capitals can be seen in the museum courtyard. The first floor contains marble statues of Poseidon, Demeter, Artemis, as well as ancient sarcophagi. On the second floor, there are items of pottery and glass-blowing art, ceramics and items from the Bronze Age.
The collection of the Ethnographic Museum, located opposite the Archaeological Museum, consists of folk art items, including carpets of Bergama and Gordes, traditional costumes and fabrics, camel bridles, and copper products. On the ground floor of the museum, you can see the recreated interiors of an Ottoman house, an old pharmacy, and a printing house.
