I
must
say
that
before
my
recent
trip
to
Turkey,
I
wasn't
really
interested
in
going
to
the
Museum
of
Anatolian
Civilizations
(Anadolu
Medeniyetleri
Müzesi)
in
Ankara.
Most
of
the
time,
I
don't
enjoy
visiting
museums
that
focus
on
historic
cultures.
But
I'm
happy
to
report
that
visiting
this
specific
museum
was
a
fun
and
memorable
experience
that
I'd
heartily
recommend
to
others.
I
was
immediately
taken
by
the
museum's
stunning
architecture,
which
skillfully
combines
modern
style
with
the
old
building
it
is
located
in.
The
museum's
layout
has
been
well
thought
out
and
organised
to
make
it
easy
for
visitors
to
move
about
and
thoroughly
immerse
themselves
in
the
fascinating
history
of
the
many
Anatolian
civilizations.
The
sheer
variety
of
artefacts
on
show
at
this
museum
is
one
of
its
most
outstanding
features.
It
is
evident
that
the
curators
have
worked
hard
to
offer
a
thorough
picture
of
the
area's
history,
covering
everything
from
the
Palaeolithic
era
to
the
Hittites,
Phrygians,
and
Lydians.
Visitors
are
better
able
to
comprehend
and
appreciate
the
value
of
the
artefacts
they
are
viewing
thanks
to
the
thorough
descriptions
and
educational
panels
that
accompany
each
exhibit.
The
interactive
features
of
the
museum,
which
cater
to
a
variety
of
age
groups
and
interests,
were
another
thing
that
truly
pleased
me.
The
museum
does
a
good
job
of
ensuring
that
history
is
understandable
and
fun
for
everyone,
whether
it
be
through
an
interesting
multimedia
presentation
about
the
Assyrian
Empire
or
interactive
games
for
kids.
For
their
expertise
and
helpfulness,
the
workers
at
the
Museum
of
Anatolian
Civilizations
also
merit
special
attention.
They
made
for
a
very
educational
experience
by
being
more
than
happy
to
answer
any
queries
and
offer
further
details
on
the
displays.
In
conclusion,
although
if
the
Museum
of
Anatolian
Civilizations
was
not
initially
on
my
list
of
places
to
go,
I
am
glad
that
I
had
the
chance
to
do
so.
The
museum
is
a
must-visit
location
for
anybody
travelling
to
Ankara
thanks
to
its
well-organized
layout,
varied
collection
of
artefacts,
fun
interactive
features,
and
informed
personnel.
I'd
highly
recommend
making
time
to
visit
this
fascinating
museum,
whether
you're
a
history
enthusiast
or
just
seeking
for
something
to
do
for
an
afternoon.
