An amazing museum in every sense. Outside, a huge number of exhibits are located right in the open air, inside the exposition is amazing) we bought a museum pass for € 105, there is no audio guide to it, alas I would like to know more

Unnecessary headphones for an audio guide are sold at the checkout There are 800 in the app! There are no more than 20 tracks on the exhibits in reality. Go ahead and guess for yourself. The tracks themselves are not interesting and very superficial "this is a statue of Zeus, this is a helmet from Troy" The mosaic pavilion (which is half of the museum) is closed for repairs. An extremely small exhibition for viewing for 40 minutes at the price of visiting the Cathedral-Mosque of Sofia. Just wasted money and time. It's more interesting to watch videos about a museum on the Internet than to walk around it.

The museum consists of the building of the Archelogical museum and the ceramics pavilion. There are halls chronologically reflecting different epochs of the history of the territory of modern Turkey, Greece and Persia, as well as thematic halls - sarcophagi, Troy in the context of cultural layers, ceramics, coins. It was especially interesting to see an exhibit telling about the methods of skeletal research. The entrance is available by museum pass. There are audio guides, but at the time of the visit they were all on hand. The plates of the exhibits are in Turkish and English. In my opinion, the best museum in Istanbul and the standard of the archaeological museum

Good health to all! Above all praise! I am an archaeologist from Moscow and have been to many archaeological museums and just museums. There are amazing exhibits, a beautifully presented story about the excavations of Troy and much, much more! I advise everyone! Just before visiting, read a little about the search and further excavations by G. Schliemann and archaeologist Dorpfeld. Good luck to everyone! Glory to Russia!

A great museum! Despite the fact that some of the halls are under renovation, a careful inspection will be enough for half a day :) the halls are new, each with at least one stand with information in English and Turkish. The English text is perfectly readable, even without an audio guide and guided tours, you can get a lot of information. And of course the exhibits themselves are gorgeous - many finds from Turkey and the surrounding area, several halls dedicated to Troy, a hall telling about archaeology, a coin room, halls of Roman sculptures. There are exhibits for every taste. The price was 15 euros, even cheap by current standards for Istanbul.

It's a great museum, but most of it is closed. I didn't see the important works in your head. The works that happened were wonderful. Considering that it remains from the Ottoman period and was even built together with the artifacts, one admires it.

An excellent museum - modern design, not too big, but not small either. Plan a couple of hours for it. quiet and cool in the center of a bustling city.

A chic museum with unique exhibits. As an archaeologist and a former museum employee, I really liked it! It's a pity, we came 1.5 hours before closing time, and we had to get acquainted with the exposition "at the pace of a waltz". At least three hours))

As if I had been to Byzantium, the explanatory inscriptions are difficult to read, poorly written and there is not enough lighting.

One of the few interesting museums in Istanbul. If you are here for a short time, I strongly advise you to go) especially if you have a museum map, since according to it this is one of two really interesting places (also Galata Tower, be sure to go!), other places on this map are not impressed at all:(

A wonderful museum, included in the museum map of Istanbul. A huge number of Greek statues from the 6th-7th centuries, sarcophagi, and many interesting exhibits:Vases, ornaments, objects are forgotten. An interesting exhibit showing the excavation process.

This time we were unlucky - the department of the ancient East and the museum of tiles were closed. The actual archaeological exposition turned out to be smaller than five years ago. Museum design also leaves much to be desired.

I won't say that it's not interesting, there is something to see, an audio guide in Russian. The cost is 25 euros per person, children under 8 years old are free of charge. But it's very small. After 1.5 hours, we have already looked at everything.

The museum is interesting, but two-thirds of the exposition is closed for restoration. The ticket price remained the same 😏 (340) lira. If you have been to the St. Petersburg Hermitage or the archaeological museums of Europe, you will not see anything new. The inspection takes no more than an hour.

It is mandatory to visit, especially since all other museums with Greek and Roman heritage are closed. The exposition is extensive, there are many sculptures. But the last floor is a cringe, ahah. It's kind of about excavations.
