Most of Turkey's archaeology museums have been jazzed up and modernized in the past decade, but not Konya's museum. This is a dusty old place with poor lighting and information panels that may as well be obsolete. But don't let that put you off, because the collection is excellent (and if you happen to like these relic museums with their treasure-hunt atmosphere, go now before it gets its much-needed facelift). There is a comprehensive display of finds from the nearby archaeological site of Çatalhöyük and a wonderful collection of intricately decorated Roman sarcophagi.

Although the museum is quite small, it contains extremely well preserved sarcophagus, notably the sarcophagus depicting the 12 labors of Hercules. Not much English explanations, but it was a pleasure to just look at some artifacts. A small resting gazebo in the center of the courtyard to rest your tired feet. Very quiet, and absolutely free! Please note that lunch hour from 12:30 to 1:30pm, the museum is closed.
A must in Konya! The museum is rife with Roman artefacts that demonstrate how Romans were settled in middle Anatolia. The section of Catalhoyuk artefacts is so impressive, you can see the baby skeleton with the bracelet and wall paintings. It will enrichen your neolithic period knowledge after a visit to Catalhoyuk. And all this is free of charge!!
Small museum with not so many items. Nothing special. The entry is free, so of you pass by,take a look
It's not that big, but it's great
This is a great museum.. why ? Because the conservative Muslim population of Konya doesn’t care about ancient Roman artifacts. They just placed all this ancient stuff randomly in the yard if the museum. Go up to it touch it take a photo sit on it no one cares. Can’t even get close enough for a photo in most museums in New York.
Very nice museum with lots of history and archeological finds.
If you are into archaeology, this is a place worth visiting. Free entrance, with lots of interesting artefacts.
