Aksaray Museum and its collection

The Aksaray Museum, originally established in the historic Zinciriye Madrasa in 1969, was relocated to a new building in 2004. This move was necessitated by the increasing number of artifacts collected from the archaeological excavations at Acemhöyük, Aşıklı Höyük, Musular, and Güvercinkayası Höyük. The new location provides ample space to display these valuable pieces of history.
