Erimtan Archaeology and Arts Museum
Erimtan Arkeoloji ve Sanat Müzesi
A private museum on the Citadel slope, known for its Roman and Byzantine jewellery, coins, glass and pottery, with a modern display style.
Opened in 2015, the museum showcases Anatolian artefacts collected by entrepreneur Yusuf Erimtan. Its highlights are Roman jewellery, coins, seals, glassware and pottery lamps, along with Urartian bronzes and cuneiform clay tablets. Multimedia displays and multilingual labels accompany the exhibits, and the exhibition design has earned wide praise across Turkey. The café terrace overlooks the Old Town and the Citadel. Admission is moderate and a visit takes about an hour. It is only a few alleys from the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, so both can be visited in one morning.

Closed Mondays; 10:00–18:00
