Erzurum Museum
Erzurum Müzesi
A provincial archaeological museum displaying Urartian, Roman, and Byzantine artifacts, along with Oltu jet and ethnographic exhibits.
The museum holds artifacts unearthed in Erzurum and the surrounding region, ranging from Bronze Age pottery and Urartian metalwork to Roman and Byzantine stone inscriptions and coins. It also displays Seljuk and Ottoman ceramics, weapons, and traditional clothing. The exhibits have English labels, and the museum is a manageable size, making it a good indoor option on snowy days or in winter. It is near the three tombs and can be visited on foot together with them. Check opening hours and ticket prices on the official Turkish museum website, as the museum may be closed on Mondays.
