Its story
The museum is in the Neşet Efendi Mansion on Nemika Caddesi, built in 1927; bought by the Ministry of Culture in 1979, the building was used as a public library between 1986 and 2008 and opened as a museum on 20 June 2012. The archaeology section on the ground floor displays works starting from Paleolithic and Neolithic finds through the Early and Middle Bronze Age, Late Bronze Age, Iron Age, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods; a significant part of the finds comes from the excavations at Oylum Höyük, 6 km southeast of the city. The ethnography section on the upper floor features the rooms of a traditional Kilis house, clothing and everyday objects.
