Fatos rápidos: More than a million artifacts are split across three buildings showcasing ancient civilizations of Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and the Mediterranean. Visitors can marvel at the oldest known peace treaty inscribed on a 13th-century BC clay tablet.
Destaques: A standout exhibit is the Alexander Sarcophagus, carved in exquisite detail with scenes of Alexander the Great’s battles and hunts. The museum's gardens display massive stone statues and tumuli, offering a tactile journey through history under the open sky.
