Archaeological Museum (Arkeoloji Müzesi), Bergama
The collection of statues, objects, and gravestones housed in the Archaeological Museum of Bergama represents just a fraction of the Acropolis and Asklepion ruins that the Germans didn't carry off.
Nevertheless, a visit here is a worthy complement to the site visits, and the curators have even been kind enough to create a faithful replica of Zeus's Altar, saving you a trip to the Pergamum Museum in Berlin.
Some other notable objects amidst the artifacts include a statue of Hadrian taken from the Asklepion library, a 2nd-century-AD stone horse from the altar of Zeus, and the oldest statue in the museum, a 4th-century-BC kuros, an early example of realism of the sculpted human form.
The ethnographic wing exhibits a collection of objects, costumes, and textiles from the surrounding region.
