History

The museum was established as a subunit of the Konya Archaeological Museum in 1967. In 1978, it was moved to its own building and was reestablished as an independent museum. In 2005, the museum underwent a reorganization.

Exhibits

The museum exhibits items from the Neolithic age to the Republican period of Turkey. It consists of two sections, namely for archaeology and for ethnography. In the first exhibition hall, there are five display cases featuring stoneware, obsidian ornaments of the Neolithic, Hittite and Phrygia era, golden diadems,figurines, candles, parts of steles from Hellenistic and Roman times, various Byzantine artifacts such as glassware, bracelets found in the excavations at the nearby historic underground city of Oymalı, Roman coins classified after emperors, as well as part of a mammoth tusk found in a sanctuary at the nearby Zengen village.[1]

In the second hall, there are two display cases exhibiting items related to the Ottoman and modern Turkish periods.

There are also several large items outside the display cases. There are a total of 8,367 items in the museum.[2]

gollark: Maybe there's some sort of simple codec you could, er, encode it with?
gollark: Wouldn't that just be an SDR and some software these days?
gollark: It sounds like a weird thing which wouldn't transfer well to other radio stuff.
gollark: <@224348995844177920> It's from an RTL-SDR and some software. RTL-SDRs are cheap software defined radio receivers using a digital TV receiver chip which turned out to have SDR capabilities for some reason.
gollark: I might look into that. Although I think I would still need a better antenna and such.
