The İstanbul Archaeological Museums<br />
is among the most impressive<br />
historical venues for your outdoor<br />
events and made up of three main<br />
units: the İstanbul Archaeological<br />
Musuems, the Ancient Orient<br />
Museum and Tiled Kiosk Museum.<br />
The collection of the Archaeology<br />
Museum – Turkey’s first museum<br />
– houses over one million artifacts<br />
belonging various cultures collected<br />
from the imperial territories.<br />
The Archaeological Museum was<br />
founded in June 13, 1891 under the<br />
name of Müze-i Hümayun (the Imperial<br />
Museum). Commissioned by<br />
archeologist, painter and curator<br />
Osman Hamdi Bey, the museum<br />
met a need to display important<br />
artifacts such as the Sarcophagies<br />
of Alexander the Great and King<br />
Tabnit, both unearthed at the<br />
Royal Necropolis of Sydon (Saida,<br />
Lebanon), a site considered one of<br />
the most significant archeological<br />
discoveries of that era. The main<br />
building of the museum was designed<br />
by the renowned architect<br />
Alexandre Vallaury a later took it’s<br />
current form with the construction<br />
of auxiliaries built in 1903 and<br />
1907. In addition to the Alexander<br />
and Tabnit sarcophagi, the permanent<br />
collection features numerous<br />
remarkable artifacts including the<br />
Mourning Women Sarcophagus,<br />
also unearthed in the Sidon Royal<br />
Necropolis excavation, the Tabnit<br />
Sarcophagus, and the Brankhit<br />
Sculptures of the Didim-Milet Sacred<br />
Way, belonging from archaic<br />
period utill late-Roman period.<br />
Besides archaeological artifacts,<br />

objects from the pre-islamic<br />
Arabian Peninsula, Mesopotamia,<br />
Egypt and Anatolia in the Ancient<br />
Orient Museum as well as some<br />
outstanding tile and pottery samples<br />
