About
The Antalya Museum or Antalya Archaeological Museum (Turkish: Antalya Müzesi) was one of Turkey's largest museums, located in Muratpaşa, Antalya. It includes 13 exhibition halls and an open-air gallery. It covers an area of 7,000 m2 (75,000 ft2) and 5000 works of art are exhibited. In addition, a further 25,000–30,000 artefacts which cannot be displayed are in storage. As a museum exhibiting examples of works, which illuminate the history of the Mediterranean and Pamphylia regions in Anatolia, Antalya Museum is one of the most important museums in Turkey. The museum won the "European Council Special Prize" in 1988.
Starting in July 2025, the museum was closed for demolition, with all its holdings moved to temporary storage on-site.
