Museums

Founded in the center of Anatolia in the early 1900s, Modern Ankara has several historical monuments some of which date back to prehistory. The museums exhibiting the art of the Urarts, Phrygians and Hittites offer visitors the chance to see these three eras at the same time. Also to be found is The State Cemetery in Atatürk Orman Çiftliği, which is set up as a museum.

This city became the capital of Turkey during the War of Independence and most of the museums include mementos of the war and of Atatürk.

The addresses of the museums are listed in our Yellow Pages and please keep in mind that most of them are closed during lunchtime.
