Weathered over time, our Hierapolis Archaeological Site Museum was reopened in its current state on April 24, 2000, following comprehensive restoration begun in 1999 along with refurbished exhibition arrangements and an open-air display. Hierapolis (Pamukkale) Archaeological Site Museum spans 14,000 m2 within the ancient city of Hierapolis, comprising ancient Roman Baths, a Gymnasium, and a library building complex. Artifacts are displayed across 3 (three) vaulted galleries constructed of travertine ashlar blocks belonging to the Roman Baths. Sarcophagi and Statues Hall This hall features masterworks primarily uncovered during excavations at Hierapolis and Laodicea alongside artifacts brought from other regional sites, presenting the finest artistic achievements of the Roman Period. Small Finds Hall In this hall, small artifacts produced across numerous civilizations since the 4th millennium BC are exhibited chronologically. Highlights include terracotta vessels, idols, and stone objects unearthed between 1954 and 1959 at Beycesultan Mound near Çivril by the British Institute of Archaeology, along with Phrygian, Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine terracotta oil lamps, glassware, necklaces, and metal ornaments. Gold, silver, and bronze coins minted from the 6th century BC through Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman eras are displayed in chronological sequence.
