Amasya Museumvisitor guide.

Established in 1925, Amasya Museum originally operated across various premises before moving to its current modern building in 1977 and opening to visitors in 1980. The exhibition presents artifacts spanning 13 distinct civilizations from the Late Neolithic and Early Chalcolithic through the Bronze Age, Hittite, Urartian, Phrygian, Scythian, Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, Eastern Roman (Byzantine), Seljuk, Ilkhanid, and Ottoman eras. The museum garden west of the building displays open-air stone antiquities from the Hittite, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Ilkhanid, Seljuk, and Ottoman periods. In the dedicated Mummies Hall on the first floor, 14th-century Ilkhanid mummies are exhibited inside special glass caskets. Notable highlights on the first floor include the 'Elmalı Floor Mosaic' from a Roman-era villa and the Ilkhanid mummies. A bronze statuette of the Hittite storm god Teshub, along with the mummies of Ilkhanid governors and officials residing in Amasya, constitute the museum's most compelling exhibits.
