The Ankara Museum of Anatolian Civilizations stands as a testament to the rich and diverse history of Anatolia. The museum’s origins date back to 1921 when Mustafa Kemal Atatürk envisioned creating a central hub for Hittite artifacts. The museum’s collection began with items gathered from across Turkey, leading to the establishment of one of the world’s most unique and comprehensive museums.
The museum is divided into various sections, each showcasing artifacts from different eras in chronological order. The upper hall features exhibits from the Paleolithic Age, Chalcolithic Age, Old Bronze Age, Assyrian Trade Colonies Age, and the Hittite Imperial Age. The lower hall focuses on the history of Ankara through the Ages, as well as the Classical Ages.
In addition to exploring the museum, visitors can enjoy the surrounding attractions, including a climb to the top of Ankara Castle, visits to nearby museums, and dining at historic cafés. The area offers a rich blend of history, culture, and modern experiences.
