About 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.
