Van Museum is a unique stop for history lovers! It has a wide collection dating from the Urartian Civilization to the Ottoman period. Especially the Urartian artifacts and cuneiform tablets are quite impressive. The museum has a modern structure, the exhibition layout is understandable and informative. Anyone who wants to get to know the deep-rooted history of Van closely should definitely visit!

The museum is beautifully prepared. The works are excellent. The box office and entrance are comfortable The museum is dark. The lighting is insufficient. There should be even more security checks. Jul, the cafe is nice and clean.

The museum is top, it tells in great detail about all the stages of Urartu civilization, a lot of very cool archaeological finds, cuneiform inscriptions. All information is duplicated in English, they even offered to download the attachment as an audio guide, but it did not work:(

After the Sanliurfa, Antep and Hatay museums we visited, it seemed quite ordinary!

In 1998, 13 stone balbal (stele) of similar type to those on the Eurasian steppes were found in their original location on the northern outskirts of Hakkari Castle and are currently on display in the Van Museum. The stelae are carved on upright Decking stone-like slabs, the height of which varies from 0.7 to 3.10 m. There is a single cut surface on the stones, on which human figures are carved. The theme of each stele reveals a frontal view of the upper human body. Eleven of the stelae depict naked warriors carrying daggers, spears and axes, the masculine symbols of war. They always hold a drinking cup made of leather in both hands. There are armless female figures on two steles.
