Sinop Archaeological Museum
Merkez, Sinop
A museum displaying artifacts from the Bronze Age to the Ottoman period from excavations in and around Sinop, with the remains of a temple of Serapis in its garden.
Its story
Museum work in Sinop began in 1921 with artifacts collected in the old idadi (secondary school) building; the collection moved to the Pervane Madrasa in 1932 and opened as a museum in 1941. The present building was completed in 1970 for the collection, which grew through excavations. The museum's plot is land donated by the municipality, where the remains of a Serapeum came to light during excavations. The halls hold sculptures and grave stelae from the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods, coins, ceramics and icons. As it is near the fortress and the Alaaddin Mosque, it can easily be added to a tour of the city center.
