Nevşehir Hacıbektaş Archaeology and Ethnography Museumvisitor guide.

Located in the center of Hacıbektaş District in Nevşehir Province and owned by our Ministry, the Museum opened to visits in 1988 and operated until 2009. As reorganization was required, display and arrangement projects were prepared by the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage and Museums. Conceived with Archaeology and Ethnography sections, the museum plan consists of three interconnected main spaces. Consultation was conducted with Prof. Dr. Fikri Kulakoğlu from Ankara University Faculty of Language, History, and Geography regarding artifact qualifications and exhibition schemes. At the entrance, an orientation hall is planned where a documentary film introducing Hacıbektaş and its vicinity will be shown. Following the entrance, the first two halls are devoted to archaeological artifacts, predominantly displaying finds from Suluca-Karahöyük excavations directed by Prof. Dr. Kemal Balkan in 1967–1976. Alongside chronological displays supported by information panels detailing Suluca-Karahöyük's continuous habitation from Early Bronze Age to Roman times, a physical cross-section diorama of the mound atop a platform is incorporated into the ongoing implementation works. Between the Archaeology and Ethnography sections, local civic coins accompanied by text panels alongside an acquired coin collection are planned for display. In the third hall housing ethnographic artifacts, an exhibition of Ottoman-period regional carpets and kilims, stone-carving craftsmanship, copper kitchen vessels, and men's and women's costumes and accessories supported by interpretive panels is designed.
