Bergama Archaeology Museum
Bergama Müzesi
Displays sculptures excavated at Pergamon and a model of the reconstructed Altar of Zeus, filling in background for an acropolis visit.
The museum opened in 1936 and is one of Turkey's earliest regional museums. The archaeology hall displays a statue of Hadrian, deities, pottery and coins excavated at Pergamon and the Asklepion, along with a model of the Great Altar of Zeus (the original is in Berlin's Pergamon Museum). The ethnography hall shows Bergama carpets and traditional costumes. Opening hours are roughly 08:30–17:30 (possibly closed on Mondays). Admission is about €3. It is on Bergama's main street, and a visit after exploring the lower Acropolis takes about an hour.
