Karaman Museum

So beautiful and historical

It was built in order to preserve and exhibit the rich archaeological and ethnographic works of Karaman and its surroundings. There are two exhibition halls, archaeological and ethnographic. These halls contain works belonging to the Epipalaeolithic Age, Neolithic Age, Chalcolithic Age, Bronze Age, Classical Age, Roman Age, Byzantine Age, Seljuk Period, Anatolian Principalities, Karamanids, Ottoman and Republic Periods. Terracotta pots, idols, bone and metal jewelry, tear bottles, weapons and ethnographic items are exhibited in the halls. Hellenistic, Venetian, Roman, Byzantine, Anatolian Principalities, Karamanoğulları, Ottoman and Republican period coins are displayed in coin showcases.nnThe corpse of a woman brought from the Manazan Caves is exhibited in the archaeological exhibition hall. The Karaman Museum, which exhibits archaeological and ethnographic stone artifacts in its garden, offers its visitors a pleasant historical journey with the artifacts it hosts.

Karaman Museum is an old and small museum on the road to Aktekke Mosque and the Castle, next to the Madrasa. However, the artifacts found are incredible, even if they are small. It is said that the history of especially small household items goes back to the ice age, the bronze age. It takes the first knives, axes and spears to be made, and the first equipped hunting began, to 20.000-12.000-10.000-9.000 B.C. It means that the first people of Anatolia lived here. We exhibit artifacts belonging to the 13 ages from the age of the Republic to the Republic of Turkey. A little or more. We have seen the most 4000 years old Hittite artifacts in museums such as Silifke-Afyon. It is truly incredible. At that time, there was not even iron. It is the first ages that it ends.
