Hierapolis Archaeology Museum
Pamukkale Arkeoloji Müzesi
A museum housed in the ruins of a Roman bathhouse, displaying reliefs from the Hierapolis theater, sarcophagi and artifacts excavated from nearby ancient cities.
The museum occupies a 2nd-century Roman bathhouse, and its vaulted halls are a highlight in themselves. Its collection includes original relief panels from the theater stage, finely carved sarcophagi and statues, and artifacts from nearby ancient cities such as Laodicea and Tripolis. It sits beside the ancient pool, and a separate ticket is required, or you can use the Museum Pass Türkiye. It may be closed on Mondays, so check on site. In summer, it is also a good place to escape the midday heat.
