Ankara Gordion Museum

The Gordion Museum was established in 1963 next to a small village of about 500 inhabitants, known today as Yassıhöyük. The museum presents a chronological exhibition in which each historical period is represented with characteristic examples.

Three display cases feature artifacts from the Early Bronze Age, followed by objects from the Early Phrygian Period, which ends with King Midas. Among these are handmade pottery from the Early Iron Age, as well as iron tools and textile production implements from the Early Phrygian Era.

In the new exhibition hall, a typical structure belonging to the destruction layer dated to around 700 BC is presented within a panoramic display.

The remaining section of the new hall showcases imported Greek ceramics from the 6th century BC to the 4th century AD, along with materials from the Hellenistic and Roman periods.

In the final section, visitors have the opportunity to view seal impressions and coin specimens unearthed in Gordion.
