    An amazing museum with great location. The stuff is nice and easy,the building is nice. Of course,this museum is not enough to see rich Carian history but it's a very good summary for historical places around. I very highly recommend to visit! It helps you to understand the area better.

    In addition to prehistoric objects, you can see the best examples of the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman periods. The museum is entered with a card. The beauty of the works fascinates you. I really liked the written descriptions and lighting of the works in the museum. A must see

    The archaeological artifacts in and around Aydın, which were protected within the Aydın Community Center until 1950 and transferred to the treasury that year, were transferred to the museum, which was established as a civil service in a room of the Zafer Primary School building, on February 16, 1959. He started operating as the museum director on February 17, 1969. On April 23, 1973, the new building was opened. The building was renovated in 2000. The current building was opened in August 2012.

    (Translated by Google) A large museum where you can see Byzantine, Roman, Seljuk, Ottoman coins, various sculptures and trinkets, sarcophagi. (Original) Bizans, Roma, Selçuklu, Osmanlı sikkeleri, çeşitli heykel ve bibloları, lahit mezarları görebileceğiniz büyük bir müze

    (Translated by Google) Each museum in Anatolya has its own richness. Aydın Archeology Museum, which is an important expression of the Ionian civilization, is also a very rich museum. When you go, you will encounter interesting works that are not available in other museums. I think our museology has improved in recent years. Our characterless cities, consisting of ugly buildings, seem to have no other places to visit but museums. The most beautiful and most meaningful place you can see in Aydın city center will definitely be Aydın Archeology Museum. After witnessing the glory experienced in the past in this museum, you will probably be saddened by the miserable state of this geography today. (Original) Anatolya'daki her müze kendine has bir zenginlik barındırmaktadır. İyonya uygarlığının önemli bir ifadesi olan Aydın Arkeoloji Müzesi de oldukça zengin bir müze. Gittiğinizde başka müzelerde olmayan ilgi çekici eserlerle karşılaşcaksınız. Son yıllarda müzeciliğimizin geliştiğini düşünüyorum. Çirkin bina yığınlarından oluşan karaktersiz şehirlerimizde müzelerden başka gezilecek yer kalmamış gibi. Aydın kent merkezinde görebileceğiniz en güzel ve en anlamlı yer kesinlikle Aydın Arkeoloji Müzesi olacaktır. Bu müzede geçmişte yaşanmış bir görkeme tanıklık ettikten sonra muhtemelen bu coğrafyanın bugünkü sefil haline üzüleceksiniz.

    (Translated by Google) I even liked the fact that they put up a modern museum selfi attraction points, but I would have expected the Aydın museum to be full, I could not see a work that excited me. There is a shopping mall in front of it, it will attract the attention of your children. (Original) Modern bir müze selfi çekim noktaları bile koymuşlar çok hoşuma gitti ama Aydın müzesini daha dolu beklerdim beni heyecanlandıran bir eser göremedim. Karşısında da avm var çocuklarınızın ilgisini çekecektir.

    (Translated by Google) It is exactly opposite the Forum Aydın AVM. While visiting the mall, do not neglect to visit here. The artifacts collected from numerous ancient cities around Aydın are waiting for their visitors here. The museum is valid at the entrance. Especially the tablet sculptures on the upper floor are worth seeing. (Original) Tam olarak Forum Aydın AVM yle karşı karşıya.avmyi gezmişken burayıda ihmal etmeyin gezmeyi.Aydın çevresindeki sayısız antik kentlerden toplanan eserler burada ziyaretçilerini bekliyor.Girişte Müzekart geçerlidir.Özellikle üst kattaki sıralı tablet heykeller görülmeye değerdir..

    It's a museum that won't take much of your time. There is useful information about the surrounding ancient cities quotation: As Herodotus puts it, Aydin has hosted colorful, lively civilizations consisting of various and different cultures since prehistoric times, as it is located in 'the most beautiful climate under the most beautiful sky known on earth'. A large part of Aydın, located in the southern part of the Ancient Ionian Region and the northern part of the Caria Region, covers the activity area of ​​​​the museum. Located on an area of ​​15 thousand square meters in Aydın Ilıcabaşı District, Aydın Archeology Museum was opened on 17 August 2012. The museum, which consists of a basement, entrance and one floor, has an exhibition hall of 1,340 square meters. Archaeological artifacts consisting of stone, glass, terracotta, coins and mosaic flooring are exhibited in the museum.

  • 5/5 doknechicin �. 2 months ago on Google • 113 reviews New
    Visited on November 11, 2023. Although it is a bit cumbersome to visit by public transportation, it is well worth stopping by. The exhibition is quite decent and worth more than the price of admission. In addition to inside the museum, it would be nice to look at the monuments and relics displayed in the garden line outside the building. The exhibitions at each of the surrounding archaeological sites were well planned, and the special exhibition at the NYSA Theater was especially good.

    (Translated by Google) I was very uncomfortable when I looked at the disturbingly realistic human statue made of wax dışında Other than that, I liked it very much in general. It affects people even more with the areas prepared besides products. (Original) Balmumundan yapılmış insan heykeli rahatsız edici derecede gerçekçi baktığımda bayağı rahatsız olmuştum 😂 Bunun dışında genel olarak çok beğendim. Özellikle ürünlerin yanı sıra hazırlanan alanlar ile insanı dahada etkiliyor.

    (Translated by Google) It is a very clean and beautiful museum with its new building and garden and historical artifacts inside. There are historical artifacts that you cannot see in any other museum. They are very aesthetic and beautiful. If you go to Aydın, it is a must-see place. (Original) Yeni binasıyla ve bahçesiyle, içerisindeki tarihi eserlerle çok temiz ve güzel bir müze. Başka herhangi bir müzede benzerini göremeyebileceğiniz tarihi eserler var.

    (Translated by Google) It can be called one of Turkey's leading museums for Aydin Archaeological Museum. In addition, it was a very nice experience to be offered the opportunity to make my money after the museum visit. I would recommend it to everyone. (Original) Türkiye'nin sayılı müzelerinden biri denebilir Aydın Arkeoloji Müzesi için. Ayrıca müze ziyareti sonrasında antik dönemdeki gibi para başımı yapma imkanı sunulması çok güzel bir deneyimdi. Herkese tavsiye ederim.

  • 5/5 Dilara A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Since Aydın is home to many ancient cities, of course, there were magnificent works in the archaeological museum. If you like to visit museums, you should definitely stop by and see the very well preserved sculptures unearthed during the excavations in the ancient cities of Magnesia and Nysa. Also, while visiting the museum, I realized how important the Kadıkale in Kuşadası was in terms of history. I hope the excavations continue. (Original) Aydın, bir çok antik kente ev sahipliği yapmakta olduğundan tabi ki arkeoloji müzesinde de muhteşem eserler vardı. Eğer müze gezmeyi seviyorsanız mutlaka uğrayın çevrede bulunan Magnesia, Nysa antik kentlerinde yapılan kazı çalışmalarında çıkarılan çok iyi korunmuş heykelleri görün. Ayrıca müzede gezerken Kuşadası'nda bulunan Kadıkalesi' nin tarihi açıdan ne kadar önemli bir alan olduğunu farkettim. Umarım kazılar devam eder.

    (Translated by Google) It is the quietest and most peaceful place in the province of Aydın. It is a museum that does not see what it deserves beside the shopping center, yet rich and magnificent works are exhibited. I have traveled to many places, but I am telling you the most different works here. The evil expression of the Pan statue, sarcophagi with detailed reliefs, winged sculptures, etc., you produce your own ancient money at the exit. I highly recommend it. (Original) Aydın ilinin en sessiz ve sakın yeri. Alışveriş merkezinin yanında hakettiği ilgili görmeyen, buna rağmen zengin ve muhteşem eserlerin sergilendiği müze. Bir çok yer gezdim ama net söylüyorum en degisik eserler burada. Pan heykelinin şeytansı ifadesi, ayrıntılı kabartmalara sahip lahitler, kanatlı heykeller vb çıkışta kendi antik paranı imal ediyorsun. Şiddetle tavsiye ederim.

    (Translated by Google) It's not bad. However, it seems insufficient for a rich geography like Aydın. It is in a location far from the city and public transportation lines, as if to be forgotten. (Original) Kötü değil. Ancak, Aydın gibi zengin bir coğrafya için yetersiz gibi. Unutulmak istenircesine şehrin ve toplu ulaşım hatlarına uzak bir konumda.

    (Translated by Google) It is a museum that is not very big when you compare it with its examples, but contains very valuable artifacts. It is a very nice experience to see the sculptures that have destroyed the perception that made us think of all the old sculptures without color until this time and did not lose their old colors. If you have time, I recommend you to go as it is a museum that will take you max 1 hour. (Original) Örnekleriyle kıyasladığınızda çok büyük olmayan fakat içinde çok değerli eserler bulunduran bir müze. Özellikle bizde bu zamana kadar eski heykellerin tamamını renksiz düşünmemizi sağlayan algıyı yıkan, eski renklerini kaybetmemiş heykelleri görmek çok güzel bir deneyim. Vaktiniz varsa max 1 saatinizi alacak bir müze olduğu için gitmenizi tavsiye ederim.
