Anadolu Medeniyetleri Muzesi, Ankara

Yes the museum has an extensive collection and exhibited nicely. Explanations are written in English as well a Turkish. Lighting needs to be adjusted to make the signage more legible. The audio guide is available at the entrance from the ticket seller only if you request it. I only realized that one was available after seeing the icons on cases in the museum. So I returned to rent one. The devise is a tad primitive but it works. Some of the icons are either missing or so we'll hidden, that locating some of the exhibits be ones hit and miss. Unfortunately, the central hall of the museum was closed to the public. The lame explanation elicited from one of the staff was that they were preparing an exhibit. I wrote lame, because it is possible to admit visitors to the central gallery with a small bit of imagination and for thought. The museum internet site is in Turkish. While I understand national pride, it is not pragmatic. Fortunately, someone had written an extensive article on Wikipedia with good summaries. ..........

Very beautiful and interesting Museum! I loved the possibility ti discover the Story of anatolian civilization and also ti spend some time in the beautiful garden...if you are in Ankara you must visit It!
