Don't miss this little gem of a museum, which is included with your admission to the Archeology Museum. The tile reliefs from Babylon's Ishtar Gate are exquisite.
Eski medeniyetlerin çok kıymetli eserlerinin sergilendiği bu güzel mekan; tarihteki ilk aşk şiiri, kadeş antlaşması ve birçok eşsiz eseriyle arkeoloji müzelerinin en nadide binalarından biri.
The Museum of the Ancient Orient was commissioned by Osman Hamdi Bey in 1883 as a fine arts school. Then it was reorganised as a museum, which opened in 1935.
