Amasya Archaeology Museum
Amasya Arkeoloji ve Mumya Müzesi
A museum with artefacts from the Hittite to Ottoman periods. Its courtyard tomb displays several rare Ilkhanid-era mummies.
The Amasya Museum holds artefacts from the Bronze Age, Hittite, Pontic, Roman, Seljuk and Ottoman periods. Its best-known pieces include a bronze deity statue in Hittite style, along with fine wooden doors and coins. In the courtyard, the Sultan Mesud Tomb displays several mummies from the Ilkhanid period. They are rare Islamic-era mummies in Turkey and attract much attention, so anyone squeamish should be cautious. The museum is west of the Bayezid II Mosque and may be closed on Mondays.
