Overview
Overview
After an overhaul of the displays the museum now houses a fine collection of finds from the region. Exhibits include a collection of Paleolithic artifacts; items from a Bronze Age necropolis; Hittite, Persian, Roman, Hellenistic, and Commagene artworks and glassware; Ottoman and Islamic coins and medallions; and the skeleton of a mammoth. Attached to the museum is a garden containing a selection of stone artifacts, including pagan tombstones from Zeugma, Christian tombstones, and Hittite statuary. The museum in its current form dates from 2005, when it was substantially enlarged to house the newly discovered Zeugma mosaics. • Illustration — Gaziantep Archaeological Museum Hittite stele • Illustration — Gaziantep Archaeological Museum Aramean banquet • Illustration — Gaziantep Archaeological Museum Grave replica • Illustration — Gaziantep Archaeological Museum Palmyra type grave figure • Illustration — Gaziantep Archaeological Museum Palmyra type grave figure • Illustration — Gaziantep Archaeological Museum Palmyra type grave figure
