Review & FAQ:
The Istanbul Archaeology Museum is on the grounds of the Topkapi Palace and is one of three museums in a complex that houses a collection of antiquities that cover a 5,000-year period! This two-building museum is packed with art and artifacts that tell the story of the city and its heritage. The items on display are labelled in Turkish and English, so visitors can go on a self-guided tour of the museum’s collections. Turkey’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism offers a museum pass on their website that lets you skip the line at the box office and can be used at many of the museums in Istanbul.
