Muğla Museumvisitor guide.

Muğla Museum is located behind the Courthouse in the former prison building. In late 1992, excavations at Kaklıcatepe in Özlüce Village brought to light numerous animal and plant fossils. With the exhibition of fossils uncovered during these excavations in 1994, the museum opened to public visitation. Fossils displayed in Muğla Museum belong to fauna and flora that lived 5 to 9 million years ago. These organisms lived and became extinct across a vast realm stretching from East Asia to Spain. Because fossils from this period were first discovered in Spain's Teruel Basin, this epoch is termed the Turolian. Excavations yielded fossils of giraffids, bovids, rhinocerotids, proboscideans, suids, equids, carnivores, and abundant plant specimens, displayed in the natural history section. Another gallery open to visitors in Muğla Museum is the ethnography section, showcasing traditional costumes and daily utensils from various parts of Muğla.
