(Translated by Google) a museum, which is in first place in the archaeological sites in the world not only in Turkey, should visit this understanding, the new regulations more güzelleşmiş🍀 (Original) Arkeolojik alanında yalnız Türkiye'de değil dünyada ilk sıralarda olan bir müze, bu anlayışla gezilmeli, yeni düzenlemelerle daha da güzelleşmiş🍀

I can talk for hours about the magnificence of this place. It’s huge! Filled with statues of all famous and non-famous, real and fictional characters. Gods and goddesses, warriors, heroes, remnants of the old ages, archeological excavations, bones, jewelry, a gift shop …etc .. You just have to see it to appreciate it. Outside of the place there is a large expanse of green gardens that you can walk about in. A cafe that serves hot and cold beverages and ice cream! You need a ticket to get in, and if you need an audio guide then prepare your passport before you go.

Very cool museum with many ancient artifacts. I only wish that there was more to see and more detailed exhibits. Many placards had only limited information. Also, they keep the lights very dim throughout the museum, I assume to preserve the nature of many of the artifacts, but it would have been nice to be able to see things in a better light. Still it’s worth a trip if you’re into ancient history.

Definitely a must go to when in Istanbul!!! Three museums in one location! I personally was the biggest fan of their cuneiform tablets! They are incredible! Plus the Sumerian statues! Plus Alexander the great has his sarcophagus there! Also there was a splendid cafe outside where you could get coffee, cold beverages, and snacks. There were sweet little kittens roaming around the property as well, outside. We spent about $11.00 per person. There was a little wait and we went through some metal detectors. Masks are required! Also you must bring your vaccination card or a photo of it. Oh and bring comfortable walking shoes.

Certainly one of the most extraordinary museums of the ancient world. The sarcophagus of Alexander is another masterpiece discovered is a must see. The golden grounds are a perfect example of master craftsmanship and are amongst the best examples in the world.

(Translated by Google) It is on the left before entering Topkapi Palace. Osman Hamdi Bey's many works can be seen. The tomb of Alexander the Great is in this museum. Museum card is valid. Have a nice trip. (Original) Topkapı sarayına girmeden sol tarafta bulunuyor. Osman Hamdi Beyin birçok çalışması görülebilir. Büyük İskender’in lahti bu müzede bulunmaktadır. Müze kart geçerli. İyi gezmeler.

This museum is a true gem! The complex of buildings itself is magnificent, the finest blend of neoclassical and ottoman architecture, with a big garden containing more findings and unclassified antiquities before your eyes! The interior covers wonderfully the history of Istanbul and Anatolia from the Bronze Age, the Greek city-states, the Hellenistic period, the Roman and Byzantine Middle Ages, and the times after the Ottoman conquest. There are wonderful explanatory exhibitions, video projections, paintings and even models of the ground levels of antiquity findings and the historical periods they belong to! And what can I say about the exhibited findings themselves? A stunning collection of priceless masterpieces from every corner of the Mediterranean, Greek and Roman statues, whole pieces of ancient cities, sarcophagi from Egypt, Ottoman pottery, beautiful tiles and so much more! I’m truly amazed! When you get tired of walking and admiring, there’s the cute museum cafe in the garden, so you can relax before you keep going with the rest of the museum’s spaces. Congratulations to Istanbul for this museum, I ‘ll be back for sure, a few hours are not enough!

Great museum. Lots of exhibits, one more interesting than the other and a perfect organization. Definitely worth a visit, preferably with a personal guide, but in any case, without haste. It takes about two hours to see and admire all its artifacts, starting with the wonderful sarcophagi and continuing with the splendid Roman and Greek statues, the pottery of ancient Greece, the jewelry of Asia Minor and the coins of Byzantium. Super !

It's quite an impressive museum, much better than anticipated. There is a couple of amazing things there, and the museum itself feels new and freshly renovated. Everything is in English, but the line to buy tickets will take up at least 30 minutes of your time.

Perhaps the best part of my Turkey visit. Expansive, educational and elaborate collection of artifacts displayed tastefully and with great detail of information. The Museum has several sections so one can easily spend an entire day here. The Sarcophagus displays, statue displays and the section about Troy are fascinating. Worth getting the audio tour for extra information as its missing on many pieces. There's a nice cafe outside to relax after the tour. The ticket queue was unnaturally slow and could have been a lot better

The museum is not very big but impressive, and I particularly liked the sarcophagi. The atmosphere is great, the layout is so easy to wander around, the rooms are very comfortable. The impression is excellent

Good selection but unfortunately many sections were closed for public while we were there. The statues, Ancient Greek artifacts and sarcophagus were breathtaking. You almost felt you were back in time while looking at those well preserved artifacts in display! There was also a section dedicated to archaeological knowledge which I found quite interesting. Definitely worth a visit. We spent a couple of hours in the main section along but you could easily spend more time!

(Translated by Google) It is a must-see place. We had an archaeologist friend with us and he took us around. We got very good information. (Original) Mutlaka gezilip, görülesi bir yer. Bizim yanımızda arkeolog arkadasımız vardı ve bizi o gezdirdi. Çok güzel bilgiler edindik.

A must see for people who love ancient civilizations. Three museums in the same place. The first one takes you back to ancient Mesopotamia, Levant and Anatolia. The second one collects the ancient Greek and Roman objects and also has a detailed explanation of their culture. The last but not the least one is about the ceramics and porcelain of the Ottoman era.

(Translated by Google) It was recently renovated and opened for years. I think it is one of the most important archeology museums in the world, the biggest and most important part of the Istanbul archeology museums with 3 parts. It is an amazing museum that hosts excellent works from the sarcophagus of Alexander the Great and the Crying women to the mummies and the treasured parts of the ancient city of Sidon. (Original) Yakın bir zamanda yenilenip açıldı, yıllardır bekliyordum.bence dünyanın en önemli arkeoloji müzelerinden birisi, 3 parca olan istanbul arkeoloji müzelerinin en buyuk.ve önemli parçası bu. Büyük Iskender ve Ağlayan kadınlar lahdinden, mumyalara, Sidon antik kentinin hazine değerindeki parçalarına kadar mükemmel eserlere ev sahipliği yapan müthiş bir müze.

Very spacious museum with vast number of collections. Be ready to walk a lot. Many tombs, monuments, jewelry and coin exhibits. Egyptian mummies, research area, even the way to the toilet is full of historical pieces. Museum card let you pass without waiting in a line. It’s in the heart of historical center , close to the beautiful park with storks.

There are aspects of this museum that are really great. They have a HUGE collection of statues (mostly Greek) and sarcophagi. Probably the biggest collection you’ve seen. Plus a mummy and some skeletons. Also a whole section dedicated to Troy. It’s laid out well and looks lovely. The Tiled museum was cool but small. What really annoyed me was the audio guide. It cost twice the price of the entrance ticket but was completely useless. There were only a handful of entries and they tell you basically nothing. Don’t bother paying for the guide. Otherwise, come primarily for the many large and interesting sarcophagi.

Good part of town as it is surrounded by many things to do around it, the Museum was 350TL per person which I believe is worth the price as it is huge and there are many things to see, unfortunately when we went parts were under renovation so we could not see it all but you will still be surely satisfied with what is there now. Best to go early in the morning to skip the ques and to immerse yourself fully without feeling too crowded inside!

Good depiction of Turkey and Ottoman empire and it's history. Must visit for tourists in Istanbul. Can improve the route and guidance from one area to another, it gets a little confusing to cover all areas.

Great place to visit on a rainy day. Pretty cheap, we paid 340 TL per person. It took us about 1:30-2:00 hours at max to see everything. Gift shop is a no-ho, everything very overpriced. Coins are 600TL for 6 coins, but you can buy those exact for 5TL/coin (December 2023). I would imagine same is for the rest of those gifts. Otherwise, really great place to visit.

(Translated by Google) I strongly recommend you to visit. There are many beautiful works of art. (Original) Gezmenizi şiddetle tavsiye ediyorum. Çok güzel sanat harikası eserler var.

This museum is really amazing you can find some icons from different part of ottoman empire here, but still to me the most interesting part is the section of sarcophagus specialty The Alexander Sarcophagus.

(Translated by Google) A truly magnificent place is very close to Topkapi Palace. Really worth to see ancient tomb artifacts and making (Original) Gerçekten muazzam bir yer topkapı sarayı ile çok yakın zaten. Eski mezar yapıtlarını ve yapımını görmek için gerçekten değer kendisine hayran bırakıyor

Before the quarantine I believe it was even greater! But even today you can see the tiled lions from Ishtar gates, Alexander the Great sarcophagus (which is not his in fact) and much more. Not forget to have a tee in a marvelous garden decorated with columns and statues!

Once again in this amazing museum!!! The new exhibitions are perfect!!! I'm looking forward to seeing the upper floor when it is ready. Don't miss a coffee break inside the garden of the museum with the view of Gülhane park!!!

Incredibly vast museum highlighting the art and way of living of civilizations before us. I love the personal finds like the oldest love poem, as well as how they mapped out how a particular area lived over centuries according where in the layers of soil the items were excavated. The vast crypts and its mausoleum were interesting too. The only downside would be the cats were greedy and not friendly at all 🥲

One of my favorite museums during stay in Istanbul. Collection of it is astonishing. I don't know why it is not on top list of must visit places of Istanbul, but it is great. Also, because it is not among top attractions in Istanbul it's not overcrowded and you can calmly walk among this gemstones and enjoy.

Admission is free with the Museum Pass. It is recommended not to listen to the Korean audio guide. Not beneficial. It is one of the top 5 museums in the world. It is famous for having the sarcophagus of Alexander the Great. There are really many things to see, including relics of the Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, and Ottoman Empire.

You can see the remains of ancient Rome and many sculptures about the Greek mythology but unfortunately the heads of the sculptures aren't available in most of them. At the end, there's one souvenir shop where you can buy mini decorative sculptures as well. By the way, I strongly suggest you to spend some time in the garden to see tha amazing stray cats of Istanbul. I attached the photos of cute kitten I petted there 🐈

A wonderful place to visit full of history. A well designed and maintained museum. The displays are very special with enough information to enlighten the visitors. My favourite was the sarcophagus of Alexander the Great. However, for me it was too much to take in so I have planned for a revisit.

Some rooms are closed due to reconstruction. Egyptian–Hittite peace treaty and glazed brick from Ishtar gate (which is in Berlin) are within those rooms. Available highlights are Alexander's and Lycian sarcophagus. Because of the reconstruction a 1 hour or max 1,5h is enough.

Incredible building in great shape. The collection inside is well thought out and has some interactive elements, which made it even more fun. The ticket is not too expensive considering other attractions. It’s 350 lira or ~11€. Everyone was nice, and the museum has great bits of history inside. I don’t give 5 stars only because you get an audioguide with your ticket, and they were “sold out”, even though we only saw a handful of people inside with them. The museum shop doesn’t have a great selection, but the cafe outside is not too expensive and super pleasant to sit down and have a drink.

Visiting the Istanbul Archaeology Museum was an unforgettable journey into history, made even more special by sharing it with my childhood friends. The museum, nestled in the heart of Istanbul, is not just a building but a portal to the past. From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the stunning collection of artifacts that spanned civilizations and epochs. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, each piece telling a story of ancient cultures and long-forgotten eras. The museum's vast collection, ranging from mesmerizing Mesopotamian relics to the intricate Alexander Sarcophagus, was both enlightening and awe-inspiring. It felt as though each artifact had a voice, whispering secrets of the past. The layout of the museum facilitated a seamless journey through history, guiding us from one civilization to another. The attention to detail in the preservation and presentation of these historical treasures was evident and deeply appreciated. Each room brought new discoveries and a deeper understanding of the rich tapestry of human history. What made the visit truly special was experiencing it with my childhood friends. Sharing the awe and wonder, reminiscing about our school days, and making new memories amidst these ancient relics added a layer of personal significance to the visit. The museum not only provided us with a glimpse into the past but also a space to reconnect with each other in the present. The Istanbul Archaeology Museum is more than just a collection of artifacts; it's a celebration of human history, creativity, and resilience. It's a must-visit for anyone who finds themselves in Istanbul, whether a history buff or just looking for a profound experience. This visit will remain etched in my memory as a day when time stood still, and we were in the company of both history and friendship.

The Istanbul Archeology Museum not only displays the artefacts and history discovered in Turkey in an abstract and delightful way, but also covers the history of the world and ancient empires. From the sarcophagus of the Egyptian pharaoh to the statue of the Greek gods and a part of the findings of the civilizations of Iran's geography, etc., it was a unique experience for me to walk in this museum, every part of which was spectacular and attractive to me. The descriptions below the works were very short and sometimes incomplete. New technologies and multimedia were used in better showing and deeper experience of history and antiquities, but there was still a long distance with the correct and balanced use of these technologies. If you want to experience this museum comfortably, you will need about 2 hours. The atmosphere of the museum was very suitable and the large corridors made it easy to explore the entire museum.

Kesinlikle gidilip uzunca görülmesi gereken İstanbul'daki müzelerden birisi. Ayrıca müzekartta geçerlidir.

A magnificient place where lots of artifacts can be seen from Mesopotamian to ancient anatolian civilisations.

Amazing selection of antiquities and historical artifacts from different time periods and their empires. Unfortunately some parts have limited information regarding that particular artifact which is a shame. The museum isn't very big but you wouldn't think that from outside. Outside the museum is great as well with many pieces of history lying on the floor.

When you enter the huge gate of Gulhane Park from the direction of the tram line, you can reach the museum by walking on the road on the right side.

(Translated by Google) The Eskişehir Archeology Museum was more enjoyable for me in terms of its exhibition and the diversity of the artifacts. I had higher expectations in Istanbul, it is still a wonderful place. (Original) Eskişehir Arkeoloji Müzesi sergilemesi ve eserlerin çeşitliliği açısından bana daha keyifli geldi.İstanbul'da beklentim daha yüksekti,yine de harika bir yer.

Has artifacts as old as the bronze age (2000 BC). Was pretty decent. Only the ground floor of the main museum building is currently open. 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors are all closed for some reason. Save at least an hour for the museum. Depending on your pace, it can take a few hours. The audio tour was difficult to use, but still worth it.

Absolutely breath taking museum! If you are planning to visit it, please at least plan 4 hours minimum. The pieces in display are stunning! There is a nice cozy cafe in between the buildings, which you will be surrounded cute cats while you enjoy your cup of Turkish coffee.

It was an amazing experience visiting the Archeological Museum in Istanbul. It has so many collections from different age and location. I wish we had more time to spend there. We had to rush as we had our flight back home that day. If you are into history and have interest in archeological artifacts, It's a must visit for you!

For the archaeological museum, while the part we were able to see was perfectly preserved and displayed in a beautiful way we only got to see the greek/roman section as all the other floors are currently closed for rennovation. However in comparison the ancient orient museum looks like it needs some care, hopefully this is the next step of the renovation? Main complain about these 2 is that there were human remains on display which should be unacceptable. No complains about the tiled kiosk, simple but beautiful!

I loved the place, they success to take you away from life back to history to live and enjoy history, lovely masterpieces from Roman and Ancient Anatolian civilizations… also the museum shop includes really good and high quality items.

Super awesome museum with an amazing collection from many countries. It has a rich collection from Mesopotamia which was really good. Definitely a must visit in Istanbul.

3 out 5 buildings are closed for restoration, but they would still charge you full price. it's a great museum, not considering that every item was stolen from a country during the ottoman period. A real disappointment to see all the stolen relics of the surrounding countries in one building. but very interesting design, and very little infos when you choose the audio guide. the quality of the headphones are also sub-zero as they are used by many people. (not so hygienic)!

Impressive museum with a large collection of everything from Reliefs to coins.

(Translated by Google) This magnificent statue came here from Düzce. Would it be better if it was in its place? (Original) Bu muhteşem heykel Düzce den buraya gelmiş. Yerinde olsa daha mı güzel olurdu acaba ?

A very interesting museum. great collection of sarcophagi. not very well thought out navigation in the museum, so do not forget to take a map.when visiting on your own be sure to take an audioguide

One of the most amazing museums worth visiting in Turkey and also in the world! Thousands of pieces collected from hundreds of civilizations spreading across Anatolia, this museum is an extremely inspiring place to have a glimpse of Anatolia and appreciate its beauty and human history of 12,000 years.

It was alright, when we went in there was a long line-up but it moved fairly quickly. There was alot of interesting things to see inside...so I'd highly recommend it. Note to the museum, I think it's a bit sad that you have the sarcophagus of the priest who clearly didn't want anyone to open it on display...at least honor his wishes and let him rest in peace.

Wow! This museum was stunning. We only spent an hour because we went close to closing time but it was definitely worth it. When you enter you put your bags through an X-ray machine and walk through a security screening. You enter into a stunning garden area and to the right is the museum. The artifacts are amazing and you can get very close to them. All of the descriptions are in both Turkish and English which is very helpful. The museum actually closed at 8pm when we were there instead of the 7pm that google showed. This museum is also part of the museum pass you can get. I definitely recommend this pass if you intend to see multiple museums as it will save you money. It’s is 360 Turkish lira (about $30usd) and valid for 5 days.

Most amazing museum! So much to see,2 hours inside the museum and we wanted more! Tickets are 5 euros/100 tl for person on the site of a museum and its so worth it! Highly recommend

One of the best museums that I have visited. All descriptions are posted in both Turkish and English. An amazing collection of statues and stone carvings from as far back as 6000 - 5000 BCE. Too numerous to count statues from the Roman times. An amazing garden just full of ancient history surrounding you as you take a break and eat lunch. An entire floor dedicated to the history of Troy. Not to mention the numerous display of sarcophagus. The free audio guide is helpful but my recommendation would be to use Rick Steves' walking tour of this museum. Highly recommended.

Nice if you have a museum pass, line wasn't too long but it still seemed to move slowly for me. You're at the whim of every indecisive person. I thought the last time I visited (2016) more was on exhibit, although some things were being worked on. Definitely worth a visit.

Wonderful museum with a lot of history. However, it is sad that there are many things in the Pergamum museum in Berlin. Anyway, it's a beautiful and interesting place to visit

December 2023- The open areas in the main building are recently beautifully renovated. All their items from south and east of Anatolia are in areas still being renovated and are closed. This includes the panel from Hezekiah’s tunnel and the Samaria Ostraca. I asked when it may be opened. They say no schedule has been announced. Rumor is they want to be open in three years.

Nice museum with an active team working on a lot of restoration projects and other discoveries. Tile museum was just as cool as the sarcophagus (alexander the greats being the one to see) one. Nice designs from many centuries ago.

It's probably the best place I've visited in Istanbul. It's the less crowded and there's a lot of different historical things that you can see there, it depends on you. If you like seeing statues and taking pictures you'd probably need more than hour and a half there if no you can do it in 30 mins.

Plenty of personnel for security but not 1 guide. Cafe prices were expensive. Do detailed descriptions for exhibits.

Deplorable. As a native of the city, I took a friend from abroad to visit the museum. We're both familiar with the Ancient Greek and Roman history of the city and were anxious to see many classic archeological artifacts such as the head of the Serpentine Column, the Alexander Sarcophagus and a remaining pillar of the Sacred Palace. The pillar was barricaded off because of a reconstruction nearby, the Sarcophagus was "in renovation" and the museum officials didn't even know where the head of the Serpentine Column was. Yet the Islamic section of the museum (there are three sections in total) was conveniently undisturbed. I see they've wasted no time in making sure religious items that have nothing to do with the city's history have been preserved in pristine condition because of high muslim tourist frequency. Whereas equally significant and more relevant objects have been neglected. How far my city has sunken. Deplorable.

Very nice place... Interesting...

An outrageous abundance of spectacularly decorated and well-preserved stone carved sarcophaguses / (sarcophagi?) from throughout the first millennium BC. Many of the sarcophagi still have remnants of paint on them. The exhibit includes information about how the artifacts were discovered and transported, as well as maps and murals depicting scenes from the discovery, handling, and transport to Istanbul. The exhibit really made me feel like a part of the discovery team.

Turkey territory is a cradle of many ancient civilisations so you might admire a lot of interesting artefacts in the museum.

The exhibition is great, even though a bit small. Half of the museum was being renovated. The open parts were focused mostly on ancient and classic eras and there were plenty of artifacts you won't see anywhere else. I didn't appreciate security guards playing loud videos on their phones and the fact there was nobody knowledgeable about the artefacts to ask questions.

My favourite place to visit in Istanbul. There are some incredible artifacts. The museum tends not to get too busy and is excellently laid out

Lots of areas closed off for renovation, we were not told this when we entered and very disappointing. Current fee of 50 TL per adult.

Muy buena exposición de objetos y buen acompañamiento de los datos y presentación de cada sala

Istanbul has lots and lots of History. In this museum, you can find some of it

Очень красивые саркофаги. Остался очень доволен

Müze Tarihi Yarımada içerisinde olduğu için şahsi aracınızla buraya kadar gelmek ve park yeri bulabilmek sıkıntı olabilir. Yine de arzu ederseniz aracınızı Eminönü’nde bırakıp buradan kısa bir yürüyüşle ya da tramvay hattı ile Gülhane’ye kadar gelebilirsiniz. İstanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri üç ana birimden oluşan bir müzeler kompleksidir. Arkeoloji Müzesi, Eski Şark Eserleri Müzesi ve Çinili Köşk Müzesi. Türkiye’nin ilk müzesi olan İstanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri’nin koleksiyonlarında imparatorluk topraklarından getirilen, çeşitli kültürlere ait bir milyona yakın eser bulunmaktadır. Osmanlı’da tarihi eser toplama merakının izleri Fatih Sultan Mehmet dönemine kadar uzanır ancak müzeciliğin kurumsal olarak ortaya çıkışı İstanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri’nin 1869 yılında ‘Müze-i Hümayun’ yani İmparatorluk Müzesi olarak kuruluşuna denk gelir. Aya İrini Kilisesi’nde o güne değin toplanmış arkeolojik eserlerden oluşan Müze-I Humayun, İstanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri’nin temelini oluşturur. Aya İrini’nin yetersiz kalması ile Fatih Sultan Mehmet döneminde yaptırılmış olan ‘Çinili Köşk’ müzeye dönüştürülmüştür. Halen İstanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri’ne bağlı olan Çinili Köşk restore edilerek 1880 yılında ziyarete açılır. İstanbul Arkeoloji Müzeleri Müdürlüğü binalarındaki alt katta yer alan, 1, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 numaralı salonlar ve üst kattaki salonların tamamının; Ek Bina zemin katta ''Assos Sergi Salonu'' ve ''İstanbul'un Çevre Kültürleri: Trakya, Bithynia - Bizans'' sergi salonları ziyarete kapalı.

Tarihe dair seyleri gözler önüne seriyor. Bence herkesin gezip görmesi gereken bir yer.

Ay Allahım alayı neyse de, M.Ö. 6000 'li yıllarda yaşamış firavunun sapasağlam dişlerini çok kıskandım. O ne güzel, inci tanesi gibi sıra sıra dişlerdi öyle... Kades Savaşı 'nin antlaşma metni ise büyüleyiciydi...

Harika bir tarih barındırıyor. Kadeş antlaşmasından İskender Lahitine önemli eserler barındırıyor.

Great museum but some parts are closed due to restoration. Free and fast entry with museum pass.

Nice little museum. Some parts don't have much in the way of curation or storytelling so it can be a bit dry, but the temporary exhibition on ancient Greece and Anatolia is good. Note some of it is under renovation as of Aug 2020 so it isn't fully accessible.

Gez gez bitmiyor..Arkeolojiden, tarihten, sanat tarihinden anlayan biriyle dolaşırsanız daha çok keyif alırsınız. Kadeş antlaşması, İskender Lahti gibi eşsiz eserler var. Anadolu'da yaşamış medeniyetlere ait çok sayıda eser var.

Sarcophagi and mummies are something special! It takes at least 3 hours to review and read what it is. There is a park with ancient sculptures and a cafe there. There are toilets on the territory! An interesting place for everyone who has the time and desire! There was also a selection of tiles on the territory, which is also interesting. Definitely recommend to visit!

Цікаве місце для усіх хто має час та бажання! Ще на території був відбір кахлів, також цікавий. Однозначно рекомендую для відвідування !

(Translated by Google) It is one of the museums in Istanbul that should definitely be visited and seen for a long time. Also valid in museums. This is also an important advantage. Especially if you live in Istanbul, I would say take a day to visit this museum. It is easy to reach public transportation. You can take photos without flash in the museum. Evening entrance to the museum is at 16 at the latest. The closing is at 17 o'clock. Summer term hours are like this. As far as I know the winter period is changing (Original) Kesinlikle gidilip uzun uzun görülmesi gereken İstanbul'daki müzelerden birisi.Ayrica müzekartta geçerli.

Müzeye akşam giriş en son 16 da. Kapanış ise saat 17 de. Yaz dönemi saatleri bu şekilde. Kış dönemi değişiyor bildiğim kadarıyla

Интересное место где-то на час времени, брать аудигид не советую, потому что озвученых экспонатов очень мало

Tarih veya arkeolojiye ilgi duyanların bayılacağı bir müze, kesinlikle görülmesi gereken bir yer, tavsiyemizdir.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful works. Thanks to the efforts of those who find it on time. Hamdi was a great man. The characters in the mummy movie only do it all out of the way :) just something attracted the attention, there is a skeleton under the ground in one section of the museum, I haven't found any text about it, but everyone is stepping on it. I am sorry frankly. (Original) Çok güzel eserler. Zamanında bulup getirenlerin emeklerine sağlık. Hamdi bey büyük adammış. The mummy filmindeki karakterler ancak getir götürünü yapar :) yalnız birşey dikkati mi çekti, müzede bir bölümde yerin altında bir iskelet var, hakkında hiç bir metine rastlamadım, ama herkes üzerine basıyor. Üzüldüm açıkçası.

(Translated by Google) Stunning nature (Original) طبيعة خلابة

(Translated by Google) Why aren't all parts of the museum open (Original) Neden müzenin tüm bölümleri açık değil

??

Not very interesting

Worth to visit! So go,go,go!

(Translated by Google) it was nice (Original) Güzeldi

(Translated by Google) Some parts are temporarily closed due to virus (Original) Bazı bölümleri virüsten dolayı geçici olarak kapatılmış

There are the sculptures from all around of turkey here.

(Translated by Google) Its new design has become much more beautiful thanks to the Italian architect, but the limit of entering each museum twice, is ridiculous. (Original) Yeni tasarımı İtalyan mimar sayesinde çok daha güzel olmuş fakat müzekartlara getirilen her müzeye iki defa girme sınırı çok saçma olmuş, saygılar.

(Translated by Google) History is something else. I think it's beautiful here (Original) Tarih bam başka bir şey. Çok güzel bence burasi

Great mesopotamic art and they have great pieces but I would have enjoyed it more if there were more explanations next to them (some didn't have anything at all)

Recommended to visit, istanbul museum pass works fine here. Alexandr's the Great marble sarcophagus storer here. The museum is under renovation at the moment, not very crowded compared to other museums in Istanbul. Enjoy Istanbul

It's one of my favourite places in all of Istanbul, with housing such a rich culture you'll leave the museum very satisfied. The closing time isn't 19:00, it's 17:00 until April. There's also a renovation going on currently and sadly you won't see most of the maim building and the artifacts in it. I adivse for you to visit when they finally open the whole building and take your time while you're there!

Well it's cool, but half of it is closed due to some renovations. But there is an additional building hidden. Near the entrance there is a map where to find it.

Learn lots of things about Istanbul and mostly here you can see the graves which was made before years ago before Christ. Even the Grave of Great Alexander is here. This place really deserve to be visited.

The staff isn't very helpful I could say they actually looked like they didn't want to be there all seemed unhappy..

Very interesting and fascinating, one can spend hours there.

Very interesting, although it was under renovation, not sure I saw all of it.

20 years ago it was better. I dont know where they lost these giant sculptures

Art, history, beauty . This place has amazing archeological pieces of which has great explanation of time and place and by whom it was inhabited or done. Some pieces though have random names and non-exact detailed explanation but still enjoyable.

(Translated by Google) The renovated sections open one by one. We can now see the necropolis finds and most importantly the Alexander sarcophagus. As far as I know, all the renovations will end in two years. This can be prolonged to be included in the annex building. (Original) Tadilata girmiş bölümler bir bir açılıyor. Artık sayda nekropol buluntularını ve en önemlisi iskender lahtini görebiliyoruz. Bütün tadilat öğrendiğim kadarıyla 2 sene içinde bitecek. Bu kadar uzamasına sebep ek binanında dahil edilmesi.

(Translated by Google) A very nice place to be a weekend spot (Original) Çok güzel bir yeri hafta sonu geçilecek yerlerden bir nokta

(Translated by Google) A place that must be visited absolutely. There is a lot of order in the beginning of the week. Two box office workers can not make it. At the entrance of such a museum, it is necessary to have additional staff at busy times. Also the cafe inside the museum is overly expensive. Bring water and food to your side. The museum can not actually be visited in one day. A day will not be enough if you wander around digesting the chapters, explanations and texts. There are free toilets in a few places in the museum. Some of the exhibits shone touched. These works should be avoided in some way to contact the visitors. (Original) Mutlaka gezilmesi gereken bir yer. Haftasonu girişte çok sıra oluyor. İki gişe görevlisi yetişemiyor. Böyle bir müzenin girişinde yoğun zamanlarda ilave görevli olması gerekir. Ayrıca müze içindeki kafe aşırı pahalı. Su ve yiyeceğinizi yanınızda getirin. Müze aslında bir günde gezilemez. Bölümleri, açıklama ve metinleri okuyarak, sindirerek dolaşırsanız bir gün yetmez. Müzede birkaç yerde ücretsiz tuvalet var. Bazı sergilenen eserler dokunulmaktan parlamış. Bu eserlere ziyaretçilerin temas etmesi bir şekilde önlenmeli.

(Translated by Google) A great place mummies museums artworks. For those who want to breathe history (Original) Harika bir yer mumyalar mozeleler sanat eserleri. Tarihi solumak isteyenler icin

Nice museum, but it's not for free maybe 35 TL or something

(Translated by Google) You go to the Louvre museum in France .. we cannot finish the praise .. those who do not know the archeology museum at the tip of the nose .... we have a big loss .. Osman Hamdi Bey personally saw the great sarcophagi brought on his back.

(Translated by Google) You see when you see (Original) Görünce anlarsınız

(Translated by Google) It is a pity that the entrance fee is a bit too high and the toilets are really excessively dirty (the smell was unbearable). Arrangements should be made urgently on these two issues. But other than that, the works inside are really worth seeing. Especially the dwarf God "Bes Statue" is impressive. (Original) Giriş ücretinin biraz fazla olması ve tuvaletlerinin gerçekten aşırı pis (Koku dayanılmaz bir boyuttaydı ) olması bir hayli üzücü. Bu iki husus hakkında acilen düzenleme yapılmalı. Ama bunun dışında içerideki eserler görülmeye gerçekten değer. Özellikle cüce Tanrı "Bes Heykeli" etkileyici.

(Translated by Google) We went to see the renovated parts in November 2019, it was very nice. We couldn't visit the renovation of the upper floors alone. They also renovated the toilets, but the water was cut and very runway. The cafe in the museum is unnecessarily expensive. (Original) Kasım 2019da yenilenmiş kısımları görmeye gittik, gayet güzel olmuştu. Yalnız üst katlar tadilatta, gezemedik. Tuvaletleri de yenilemisler fakat sular kesikti ve çok pisti.

(Translated by Google) ATTENTION, ATTENTION, ATTENTION We decided to go to the Istanbul Archaeological Museum with a dear friend. The entrance money was officially high. Anyway, let's see what we've got inside, not even thirty percent of the museum was open. Other Floors and Sections were officially shut down for a long time because of the Renovation or other Reasons. We went to see the open part immediately. However, if you surf the Internet all day, you can visit everything and finish advertising. But of course, all sides are officially locked and it is not written even though it is like this. This is officially totally against the Laws of Consumption and Fraud. I want to complain to these robbers from here and want my money back at the box office as I want it again. CAUTION DO NOT ACCIDENT OR RECOMMEND THERE. So the seventy percent of the mine has been closed for a long time, then why not reduce the entrance fee to seventy percent of the Museum Management, do not have any shame, Haram, Robbery Unfairly fill your pockets and how you become a sample of this country ...

(Translated by Google) The presentation of the works was good, but the works were much more beautiful and the replicas were of good quality. Osman Hamdi corner should not be forgotten.

(Translated by Google) This part is nothing more. There is an old Egyptian coffin. Carved in front of a person's face Finally, I couldn't find a snake head anymore. Therefore went downstairs Asked the staff Take the snake head image to see again You said that Go to another building But go out to the road first And the snake's head will be on the 1st floor. What about that? Still do not understand And why should you tell me Or have multiple layers? But it's okay to ask the staff there. Because there is no real snake head here Go back to the first building, the Museum of the Ancient Orient again. Ask the other staff. You told me to walk out first. Then go to the entrance to another point Then the frontman is confused as to whether Will there be another entrance? (But) take it out first. And then came along this way Is walking back and forth with the legs Oh, Hey ... It has a sign saying this. By pointing to the left (according to the red frame to see at the beginning), which is the green zinc way that is being improved by the female staff standing on the phone If not really noticed, no one will know that there is another entrance. Which can be seen that When entering inside, really little people, because no one knew it. So then went in to ask better than that, right? Because it's still not really sure that it will be the entrance 555 Finally, yes. A part of Archaeological Museum but have to come back in this way Take the bag to scan again And ask to see the ticket to the museum as well.

(Translated by Google) Very nice very interesting place (Original) Çok güzel çok ilginç bir yer

Very rich exhibit with important treasures covering multiple periods of history. It is a showcase for the multiple civilizations of Anatolia. It is essential to visit for anyonee interested in history.

(Translated by Google) Great, interesting. Many monuments of the Byzantine era. A lot of tombstones. Like everything in Istanbul, a mixture of pre-Christian and Muslim culture. If the Topkapi Museum is closed, then the entrance to the Archaeological Museum will have to be searched. But it's worth it. (Original) Большой, интересный. Много памятников византийской эпохи. Много надгробий. Как и все в Стамбуле смесь дохристианской и мусульманской культуры. Если музей Топкапы закрыт, то вход в Архиологический музей, придется поискать. Но это того стоит.

Very interesting and stunning pieces.

Takes about 30 minutes to walk through. Nice little museum. Good description in the end how they fund the mosaics. Few stairs during the museum. Difficult to get around with a buggy.

Incredible!

Ok for short visit, but not a must see.

The mosaic are remains of the ancient Byzantine Palace, some of them are preserved properly, while others are missing pieces. You can find some information on the walls in English and Turkish language. You can use your Istanbul Museum Pass to enter here or you can pay 40 TL. It nice to see in case you have your Pass.

Very beautiful !

Interesting place with a lot of love for details and not overrun. Definitely a recommendation

(Translated by Google) Mosaics of the Great Byzantine palace are on display in this museum. One of the must-see places. (Original) Büyük Bizans sarayı mozaikleri bu müzede sergileniyor. Görülmesi gereken yerlerden.

A very interesting museum with artefacts that are so fun to examine at such a close distance and a lovely park full of cats and ancient sculptures

So amazing, i can't believe that I saw first time ever a real skull in front of me their

Nice to see but nothing special, they have real mummy.

After I visited the museum, it made me think of existence of artistic view, believing in something and esthetical concerns in ancient times. The museum is designed by Osman Hamdi Bey who leaded excavations of objects in museum also a famous orientalist painter. I strongly recommend that you should visit the museum, read all descriptions and look deeply at exhibited artifacts.

If you kind of that do not like museums, this one worth visiting anyway. It has many sarcophagus open with bones inside, you can walk around it pretty close. Some of archaeological artefacts looks really impressive, telling the history of their owners, nations. It is 4 buildings in total, all different artefacts and impressions, it takes some time to walk though all of them so grab some water to take a short rest in meantime.

We went in the museum at 2:30 pm and had to finish at 3:30 pm. Officially its open to 4:00 pm but the guards told us to leave the building at 3:30 pm which was annoying. But what we could see within an hour was very interesting! To see man made stuff which is 2500 years old was amazing!

Three period of time museum with different hictorical story .you need at least 1/30 hours to see completely these 3 museum .first and second museum have better collection than the third one.if you love history and culture it's best place for you .

If you like historical and archeological terms - this is your place.. Really.. You will enjoy.. And it could take all day with coffee breaks in archeological small park with coffee between antique columns 👍

Большая часть закрыта из за Covid ограничений. Пока не советую посещать

(Translated by Google) I love it. The museum, which has an entrance from the garden of Topkapı Palace, is now in short supply and if you like to visit museums, both Topkapı and Archeology Museum are heavy. The Archeology Museum was very rich and I liked it very much. Its staff, whose beautiful works were exhibited, were also sweet. (Original) Bayıldımmm . Topkapı Sarayı’nın bahçesinden girişi olan müzeyi şimdi kısıtlı zaman olunca ve müze gezmeyi de seviyorsanız hem Topkapı hem Arkeoloji Müzesi ağır geliyor.

Well, a little bit dissapointed. The museum in Antalya is way better. Waste of time and money.

Fantastic buildings, this museum has 4 buildings. Amazing history. Amazing collections. Must see.

It was amazing! I liked how they saved everything, the museum is so clean and the atmosphere is more than beautiful! Highly recommend. One star left for the price :p

It's a nice museum. Has English introduction also. Huge area, many cats.

Its really good place where you csn touch the history

Istanbul Archaeological Museums are a complex of museums consisting of three main units. The Archaeological Museum, The Museum of Ancient Oriental Works, The Tiled Kiosk Museum. Istanbul Archaeological Museum, the first museum in Turkey, has about a million artifacts from a variety of cultures, brought from the imperial lands.

awesome museum. It has a rich collection from Mesopotamia which was really good. Definitely a must visit in Istanbul.

Great museum, with lots of stuff to see. If you are interested, you should definitely visit it.

Awesome museum with a big collection of breath talking Mesopotamia..at least you need a plan of 3 hours to spend there Must visit

It's very interesting, but staff, LEARN ENGLISH PLEASE. It is impossible to get an answer for anything

A lot of collections and affordable ticket price. Come early if you don't want to queue in long line.

Overall ..quite cool.. not as in depth as other Museums around the world but good enough for a brief overview . I paid extra for the audio headphones however realized it didn't add much value . You can skip them if you wanna save some money .

(Translated by Google) Excluding the palaces, I would say that I used to think that the previous museums were museums. Before I went here, the way to go is different, the way to go is to feel like you are in the ancient city with a delightful garden, what does it mean, over 1 million artifacts. Please be the occasion to take me to you... Inside, there is a 4 or 5 meter statue of GOD BES, holding a carved-headed lion by its legs, that will greet you at the entrance. I squared it in my 2nd photo. (Original) Sarayları hariç tutarak söylüyorum ki daha önceki müzeleri müze zannederdim buraya gitmeden önce, gidiş yolu ayrı keyifli içeri ayrıkeyifli bahçesi antik kenttesiniz hissiyatında , 1 milyonu aşkın eser ne demek, Çinili köşk çok güzeldi, buram buram tarih kokan bu yere çocuğunuzu yoksa yeğeninizi yoksa nebilim işte birisini götürmeye vesile olun lütfen...İçerde Girişte sizi karşılayacak 4 veya 5 metrelik ,bacaklarından tuttuğu oyulmuş başlı aslanı tutan TANRI BES heykeli vardır.2.fotoğrafımda kareledim.

Well, I thought I have seen great museums. This one's come as one thr top 10 archeological museums in the world. 3 different buildings, with very wide range of eras and geographical locations. Babylonians, ancient Egyptian to the history of Anadolya. You probably need 1 day to visit and enjoy every object there.

Wonderful place to visit. 200 turkish lira =16.54 USD(160 ENTERANCE +40 AUDIBLE GUIDE) cost for enterance ticket with audible guide which you just need to walk around and insert the number of the section into the device and then listen to the history. Recommended to visit and only one feedback that to keep brochures and more audible for English to understand every single places especially some outdoor columns .

Are you ready for the journey between east and west? What the Ottomans left to our day, a journey from beginning to end in the 8500-year history of Istanbul, visit Alexander the Great, the letters written by the Greek commanders to their families, Medusa and other gods…

Despite many sections being closed off, this is still an excellent museum for the quality of the sarcophagi alone. There are so many exceptional pieces, with very high quality carvings. The Babylonian wall tile street decorations are also stunning.

İncredible place. Worth visiting, view the rich history of the region.

Good. Nice selection of pre-Islamic relics. Upstairs was closed. I wish I was told about that, or given a discount because half the exhibits were not available.

Dünya gözüyle görmeden ölmemeniz gereken bir müze emeği gecen herkese teşekkür ederim. Buraya sadece yarım gün ayırın 1 saatte gezemezsiniz.

Amazing! What a wonderful museum! The impressive quality of the display and pieces! As also de amount of them.. I didn't expect to see that quantity and quality! At the level of the world's museums! Don't miss the tile museum just in front of the archeology one! Is also a beautiful one!

Very nice place if you have an interest in mythological antic greek tombs, Zeus and other Greek god statues, mummies, old metal coins. I strongly recommend this museum.

Huge place with plenty to see. Really well curated and nice and spacious. Makes for a nice day and the cafe just outside is also really lovely.

Excellent!!!

Vary fantastic

The archaeology museum in Istanbul is a true gem of the city, showcasing the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The exhibits are well curated, with a clear and informative display of artifacts from various civilizations and eras. From ancient Greek and Roman sculptures to Ottoman ceramics, the museum takes you on a journey through time and provides a deeper understanding of the diverse cultures that have shaped Istanbul into the vibrant city it is today.I highly recommend visiting this museum to anyone interested in the history of Istanbul and the surrounding region.

You can learn a lot about ancient history, and the illustrations here are very beautiful. However, there is very little information about the presented objdcts.

One of the top world museums . Aleksander’s the Great sarcophagus, Troy period artifacts. Must be visited.

Amazing museum, many cultures, great stories, lots to see and discover

The museum was so good. Everyone should go and see it.

Offers brilliantly restored Art with excellent architecture to marvel at! The museum is right inside Gulhane park. 5 minutes walk from Gulhane Station. Students can get a museum card made for 30 TL by presenting their university student ID and enter. There are a total of 3 museums within the premises. Definitely worth visiting. Incredibly picturesque.

Amazing history and presentation of history. The only reason this museum does not get a 5 star rating is the bathroom. So much effort into all areas of this establishment and its overshadowed by a poor restroom. The exhibits are presented beautifully, but now I understand other ratings regarding the lack of descriptions on each piece. Oddly enough, the structures outside have a larger explanation than that inside. Overall, would totally recommend and give yourself plenty of time. The detail of the excavations are fascinating!

Most of the exhibition halls are closed. When we were there, we had access only at the main hall. The audio guide is great and not too long per audio. One of the 3 snake heads from the iron basilisk is there on display. The Troy Hall and its layered excavation model are very informative and creative. The museum shop is very cool and you can get jewellery designed with ancient motives and styles. Unfortunately the bathroom is really in need of a cleaning..

This is a very well-kept secret! Laid out over two very expansive floors, the range of items on display is amazing both in terms of quality and also breadth. No parking (but there are tram stops very close by). Free with a museum card. Allow at least two hours and just browse...

It’s small but awesome, worth the visit, excellent display

One of the best museums in Istanbul. The exhibition is huge with beautifully restored sculptures. They should put more descriptions on the exhibits or sell a catalog with text.

Well worth the 200 Lira ticket ($8 US). The coolest museum I've ever seen.. beautifully designed.. unfortunately most of the statues are damaged because of earthquakes the mausoleums are in excellent condition. Great display and info about the 7 cities of Troy and plenty of historical and mythology info.

Beautiful collection, nice air conditioning. Happy to see ancient Istanbul, Turkish and Mediterranean artifacts here. For me the best place to go if you like history.

Thought it was truly lovely and have amazing archive and collection parts of it was closed. Security really helpful and polite. There are very great Greek / Román statue collection. And definitely should see exhibition parts about Troy.

We entered free with our Turkish muzekart. It was worth our time. God's and Goddesses, jewelry section and the sarcophagus of Silon were wonderful exhibits

Exquisit museum with a very well presented collection. The Troy gallery with its focus on the different stratigraphic layers of the successive cities through history, in combination with an in-depth exhibition of the excavation history is truly impressive. On the whole a museum worth visiting and revisiting.

Good for early Anatolia, Greek, and Roman history fans. Renovations under way for two buildings with tiles and Kadesh contract but worthwhile for several hours of stay. Outdoor cafe with Greek columns was very unique setting.

It was my dream to visit this museum and I was super excited as well. And it was worth every second: great descriptions, very accurate and interesting installations and as well tombs collections - so gooold. I liked the video-room with animations of Turkish history, because it's quite inspiring for video editor. Recommend going with all my fibers

The Istanbul Archaeology Museum offers a unique experience for history enthusiasts, and if you have a Muzi Kart, it's an affordable visit. However, for foreign visitors, the ticket price can be quite steep, especially if you've already explored attractions like the Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace. During my visit, the museum was surprisingly uncrowded, almost empty, which was a nice change from the bustling tourist spots. If you have a passion for sculpture, pottery, and ceramics, this is your paradise. But if these subjects don't pique your interest, you might not find this museum worth the expense. It's a specialized attraction that caters well to those with a particular fascination for its offerings. For istanbul itinerary follow me on Instagram @itsaroojmazhar

Very interesting museum, usually got left out of plans because most of people head to Top kapı place and other well-known places. But this one is a must visit. Very large collection of archaeological artifacts well designed and lighting is perfect. Highly recommended.

It is near Gülhane Park and Topkapı Palace. Alexander the Great, is among the most famous pieces of ancient art in the museum. For me it wasn't big enough to spend the whole day in the museum. I guess there's an outdoor exhibition as well but it was under construction that day. It's worth a visit and quite cheap when you buy online or with a Museum card/pass.

This is an amazing place to spend a few hours. If you have the extra time in Istanbul, you’ll get to see some amazing archaeological artifacts, Roman and Greek sculptures, as well as some mummies.

I highly recommend everyone to visit. Tourist or local, totally worths to pay and have this experience. Turkish people can go easily using their museum card and tourist price was around 340₺ (10/2023).

Very interesting museum, with a nice park area around. Unfortunately, the most interesting exhibition for me (Mesopotamia) was closed. There is one of the rarest things in the entire world - the very first peace treaty! 9/10 because it was hot inside 100/10 for the house with a heart

Interesting for archeological studying students. Rest of us only see a rock. Tudos to the people who Carved it though.... you can see a million old jugs and plates and things... not interesting for me or the kids

340 Turkish Lira for foreign visitors. Magnificent museum with lots of exhibits and artefacts. There's a real mummy in the museum, several coffins. Must visit if you are into history and museum. Toilet was a bit dirty, though.

It is one of the best places to visit in Istanbul, no matter if you are a history lover or not. The museum will guide you through the ages: from the great Trojan war, the rise and fall of empires that ruled the region, up until the 19th century administration by Osman Hamdy Bey. As of January 2024, some exhibition spaces like "istanbul through ages" and "Syria, Palestine & Cyprus" were closed due to restoration/maintenance, but it was understandable judging by the size of the building complex. Definitely will return to visit the rest of them!
