Eti Archaeology Museumvisitor guide.

Eskişehir ETİ Archaeology Museum is characterized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism as the first museum in Türkiye realized by the private sector from project design through exhibition. Museum construction was completed in 2010 when the administrative building entered service. Erected on a site of approximately 1,300 m², the new museum building offers 4,000 m² of usable floor space across three blocks. The basement of the administrative block houses laboratories and photographic studios; the ground floor contains a cafeteria, and the 1st and 2nd floors house the library and administrative offices. Immovable cultural assets are displayed in the museum garden. The ground floor of Block B serves as a multipurpose hall for exhibitions and conferences; the ground floor of Block C serves as a semi-open display and temporary exhibition hall; basements of Blocks B and C serve as storage depots. The first floor of Blocks B and C is entirely dedicated to archaeological exhibitions. In 1945, a depot museum was created inside the Alaeddin Mosque in Eskişehir with movable cultural assets gathered from the province and its districts. In 1966, the Eskişehir Museum Directorate was officially established in the Kurşunlu Mosque Complex in the Odunpazarı Quarter, opening for display and service. In 1974, it continued operations in a new building on Atatürk Boulevard in Akarbaşı Neighborhood. The building proving inadequate and requiring modernization suited to contemporary needs, it was closed to visitors in 2001. Under a protocol signed on February 28, 2007, between the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Board of Directors of the ETİ Group of Companies, sponsorship of museum construction was undertaken by the ETİ Group of Companies. Officially inaugurated by our President on May 28, 2011, Eskişehir ETİ Archaeology Museum possesses a collection formed through purchases, donations, and confiscations, predominantly consisting of artifacts yielded by excavations and field surveys conducted across archaeological sites in Eskişehir. The exhibition chronologically showcases significant finds from scientific excavations at archaeological sites including Dorylaion (Şarhöyük, Tepebaşı), Pessinus (Ballıhisar, Sivrihisar), Han Underground City (Yazılıkaya), Keçiçayırı (Bardakçı, Seyitgazi), Çavlum Village Old Hittite Necropolis (Çavlum, Odunpazarı), Demircihöyük (Çukurhisar, Tepebaşı), Karacahisar (Karacaşehir, Odunpazarı), and Küllüoba (Yenikent, Seyitgazi). Displayed objects include marble statues and figurines, architectural elements, stelae, daily utilitarian terracotta vessels, idols, glassware and beads, metal containers, weaponry, jewelry, and coins. Eskişehir ETİ Archaeology Museum houses approximately 22,500 movable cultural treasures spanning Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Bronze, Hittite, Phrygian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman eras. Aside from roughly 2,000 artifacts exhibited within the museum's 1,800 m² covered exhibition halls, the remaining 20,500 artifacts are safeguarded in 900 m² museum storage depots.
