Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Kırıkkale

The atmosphere was really good and enjoyable the categorization was also very nice the materials and shapes were too much it takes 4-5 hours to visit the whole museum, highly recommend this museum.

Its a museum definitely you must visit in Türkiye. From First Age to today, different civilisationss lived in Anatolia, historical footprints could be found. Incredible relieves, stone works, daily life tools, hunting equipments, communication and social life tools ( messages, certifications, treatmentswith cultural and art works.

Perhaps the best museum for ancient artefacts in Turkey.The museum sits on a high underneath the entrance to the castle. It contains wonderful exhibits from the Neolithic period, as well as spectacular Hittite, Phrygian, Urartian, Assyrian, etc. artefacts. The Neo-Hittite stonework from Carchemish is particularly special, but there are so many highlights to this museum. If you like ancient history and are in Ankara, this is a definite must see.

I’ve enjoyed my time here. It costs 30 TL per person to enter.. a lot of history .. there is a nice cafe to sit at after your tour

Takes you back to history with amazingly prserved exhibits along with a great deal of details.The tickets to the museum available at the entrance.It was a pleasure to walk through the beautiful pebbled streets around the Castle area where there are plenty of antique shops and kilim merchants. And of course with feline masters well looked after by the towns man.I wish to go there again.

Good place for young children education.

An interesting museum with many artifacts stored and displayed.

Not to miss museum in Ankara. First class antique artifacts.

Very complex and beautiful museum with a lot of elements from the history of Anatolian Civilization. Worth visiting!📍Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, Ankara, Turkey

Amazing amount of history under one roof. A must visit if in Ankara. Once done a 5 minute walk to Ankara Castle (Ankara Kalesimakes it worth the visit too.

Museum of anatolian civilization is one of the best museum in Ankara. Perhaps, it is the best (it depends on you.It demonstrates the history of anatolian civilizations via visual, graphical and written expressions. You are going to witness many cultures such as Hittite, Phrygia, East Roman Empire etc. I strongly recommend this museum.

A gorgeous museum located on the hill in Ankara. The museum grounds alone are very scenic and beautiful. Items curated there are well lighted and labelled.Happened to have a musical performance going on when I visited. The acoustics are very good indeed. And the performance was very enjoyable.Enjoyed my visit thoroughly. Really wished I could have stayed longer. Spent 2.5hours there and it wasnt enough. Guess I will have to try to visit again !Entrance Fee in 2022 - Sep : TL 75* I hope they publish a new museum guide with all the items in it. Currently, its split into multiple books with lots of items not in it. It would be of great interest to people who dont have the time or photographic equipment to capture all the great artifacts kept here.

Here is museum to know how important for human history Anatolia has been. Especially I recommend you to seeGoddess Figurine.

This museum is unique all over the world. You never ever see this masterpieces somewhere else

Nicely organised and full of ancient relucs

Such a neat museum. Dont miss it if you are in the area.

Great museum with a great exhibition of objects found in the archeological sites. Is organized in an chronological way.

Wow!!! The paradise for archaeology enthusiasts and the people who settled the area of Anatolia at the origins of the world.

Very beautiful museum located in the heart of the old city of Ankara next to the castle, it exhibits very important artifacts from the different civilizations that inhabited Anatolia since the prehistoric times.I very much enjoyed the whole museum reading about the history of Anatolia and its civilizations and i highly recommend checking it out.

If you are visiting Ankara you should definitely visit this museum. It is a fantastic experience and you learn so much about history. Most artifacts go as far back as 6000 BC. Its clean and well cared. I would recommend purchasing audio guide option when buying tickets in order to understand what you are seeing. Highly recommend.

Great collection of Anatolian archaeological artefacts and artefacts from the Palaeolithic Age to the present. Im still impressed how advanced people were nine thousand years ago.

Great , historical local artefacts dating back to 6000BC75lira entry ticket

Highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the history of the first settlements in Anatolia. Spectacular artwork and artifacts. Kybele is my fav.

A must see museum. Very well laid out and structured. Easy to read the supporting information in English and Turkish. A great over view of the ancient civilasation of the area.

This is a fantastic and fascinating museum. You literally walk through the evolution of humanity from palaeolithic times to the Classical era. It’s well laid out (except you do have to backtrack a bit to get to the Classical sectionand has a great collection with things I haven’t seen in other museums. Highly recommend if you are in Ankara.

Incredibly interesting museum, high quality specimens, unique artifacts, a must see when in Ankara, well worth the trip.

If you find yourself in Ankara I suggest you take the time to visit this wonderful museum not very far from the castle on the hill. Seeing both of these spectacles can be achieved easily. Try it.

Wonderful museum, very nicely displayed and maintained. Some artifacts go back to c 9-10 thousand years ago, they are just sitting there, which is amazing. Point of entry where you buy tickets could be improved (it was a bit crampedbut that is a minor detail.

Wonderful! Many beautiful things to see, make sure to eat before visiting because youre gonna be hungry again by the time youve finished. Unfortunately the lighting is poor so its especially hard to read the information boards. Otherwise really enjoyable

If you are in Turkey as a turist or even local this is a must see. There are so much history in this erea, an it is all gsthered here in this museum, which has 1997 won price for best museum.The time Line starts from around 10.000 BC to the Roman era. It is truly remakable to see the craftmentship of the time, and you cannot stop thinking that the technique used for almost 10.000 years ago are almost the same most people still use today.Truly amazing.

Learned some new interesting information about Anatolian region and its history.Using the museum card gives you a good discount when shopping or having a drink from the cafe shop.

The museum is tidy and beautiful, too much tools used in it, but the place inside the museum is very hot, and needs to add air conditioner.

Its a must-visit in Ankara, full of ancient gems that catches your eye!

Entrance fee is 60lira/pax.Worth it. Love it. If you love history you will enjoy this museum. Toilet is clean. After visiting the museum you can continue walk the hill, there is a local market, that you can stroll along.

I went here as part of a Rick Steves group tour (highly recommended!). They have a great collection of items from thousands of years ago. It is really amazing to see such intricate carving and jewelry work from thousands of years BC!

The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations is located in Ankara. It consists of unique and important archaeological artifacts which tell the history of Anatolia.

Small but very impressive museum of the civilisations of Anatolia.

You have to visit this museum if you’re visiting Ankara or even close to it.The location is also great being very close to the castle so you can visit both on the same day.The actual museum isn’t very large compared to other museums in turkey but it’s very clean, well organized, items are presented in a nice way, and has a lot of history.The only thing I didn’t like is that the downstairs floor isn’t well decorated as the upper floor

Nice experience, It is a place to visit if you travel to Ankara.

A collection of artifacts starting from the Neolithic era up to the Roman era. The collections exhibited here are mostly discovered during the excavation around Ankara and Turkey. The descriptions are available in Turkish along with English. If you have extra money, you could pay more for an audio guide to help you learn things around the museum if you think reading is a bit inconvenient. Its highly recommended to go here if you are interested in Anatolian civilization history.

Amazing Museum , Rich of history of this area . Great valuable antiques are here

Awesome exhibition at this museum. Items all the way back to the neolithic period 5700 BC. Amazing collection of magnificent items. A must see!

The museum will give a clear snapshots of the Anatolian civilization, their social life, art, cultural depictions with the remainings excavated by the archeologists. The museum is classified based on the archeological periods (like stone age bronze age etc.)If you are interested in history then its a must visit. Otherwise its advised to know about Anatolian civilization and then visit. (2Hour minimum duration required)

Unbelievable museum. Neolithic, Hittite, Helenistic, Roman, greek ecc this museum is a must to do in the Ankara Trip.In the end of museum you will find the clean toilet and the museum shop.

Paleolitik Çağ’dan itibaren Anadolu topraklarının özgün eserlerine ev sahipliği yapan Anadolu Medeniyetleri Müzesi, 1997’de “Avrupa’da Yılın Müzesi” seçilmiştir. Ayrıca kendine özgü koleksiyonları ile de dünyanın sayılı müzeleri arasında yer almaktadır...The artifacts exhibited in the museum dates back to nearly 300,000 years ago. Starting from that date, you can trace the unerupted storyline of civilizations that lived in Anatolia over the ages. Here, you can find the first tools humans ever used in the Palaeolithic Age, the remainings of the first agricultural settlement ever created in the history: Çatalhöyük, and sculptures of their beloved Mother Goddess.One of the most important artifacts is the tablet in Akkadian scripts (1275-1220 BC- a correspondence from Egyptian Queen Nefertari to Hittite Queen Puduhepa written after Kadesh Peace Treaty - the first peace treaty in the world history, dated 1275-1220 BC found at Boğazköy.As you move further and further in time, Museum of Anatolian Civilizations proves to be a treasure chest filled with history, containing artifacts from the most influential civilizations such as Hittites, Phrygians, Urartians, Lydians, Hellens and Romans. If you ever visit #Ankara, know that you can witness the beginning of time and story of how we got here in the first place...Sanat , heykel , müze , park , orman , arkeoloji , kitap, resim, kafe , çay

Great collection from Paleolithic, Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age and you may see unique and replica artifacts from Hittites, Urartu, Phrygians, Assyrians and more from other Anatolian prehistoric civilizations. The museum has two main sections with more to display in the garden. It also has small gift shop and a cafe. Located in historic center of Ankara on the way to castle. That area is also worth visiting too.

One of the best museums in the world, the pride of Turkey. Here you will find many original artifacts you missed if you were roaming Turkeys premiere archeological sites like Hattusa and Alacahöyük. If you love to challenge your wishful thinking, get there on a weekday 2 hrs before closing and chances are youll have many enjoyable moments without the decibels and jostle of a savage turistas.

Came to know about one civilization. Women were respectful on that days. The housing pattern, use of metal, preparation of ornaments, how to get a pet giving food. The guide was well-known to the history. This Museum achieved prize from EU. First written documents.... So many this. While visiting Ankara one should visit this place.

Great museum, the ticket its very cheap, and its a 20 min walk, inside you will see a lot from the beginning of the human kind, also the evolution through the past of the years, its a must have in Ankara, if you want good pictures being a camera because theres no chance to use cellphone flash so your photos will get dark. Very recommended.

Amazing place. All those read in the textbooks are vividly seen in this incredible museum. It’s on the hill so suggest that taking a taxi which does not cost much in Turkey.After visiting the museum, just walk up the hill for 5 mins is the castle. From there you have wonderful view of the whole Ankara area. There are many small stores near the castle that sell souvenirs at reasonable prices. The blue eyes and some handmade textures are good as gifts.
