Merkez, Kırşehir
The provincial museum, renovated through Turkish–Japanese cooperation and opened in 2010, displaying finds from Kalehöyük, Yassıhöyük and Büklükale and an Ahilik section.
Its story
In Kırşehir, ethnographic works had been kept in a mosque since 1936; however, the museum could only be founded in 1997, and the Kaman-Kalehöyük excavations played a large part in this. Rearranged in 2008 through the cooperation of the Turkish and Japanese governments, the museum opened to visitors on 10 July 2010. The ground floor displays archaeological works and coins from the Early Copper Age onward, and the upper floor ethnographic works. The finds from the Kalehöyük, Yassıhöyük and Büklükale excavations carried out by the Japanese Institute of Anatolian Archaeology, and a special section devoted to Ahi Evran, are the museum's highlights.
