Museum of Troy

Troya Müzesi

A rust-steel cube opened in 2018, displaying artifacts from Troy and nearby sites, including the Polyxena Sarcophagus.

The museum stands near the entrance to the Troy site, in the village of Tevfikiye. Its square weathering-steel exterior represents the excavated strata. It opened in 2018 and later won the European Museum of the Year Award. Exhibits follow a timeline of Troy's excavated layers, featuring pottery, gold ornaments and weapons, along with finds from Assos, Alexandria Troas and other Troad sites. The highlight is the Polyxena Sarcophagus, carved with a sacrificial scene. The rooftop terrace offers views over the site and the Dardanelles. The museum card is valid here.
