Ermenek Ahmet Keleşoğlu Archaeology and Ethnography Museum
A small local museum in Ermenek, a town in the Taurus foothills of Karaman province, devoted to the archaeology and everyday heritage of the area.
About the museum
The Ahmet Keleşoğlu Archaeology and Ethnography Museum serves Ermenek, a mountain town in Karaman province that lies well away from the main tourist routes. Museums of this type gather the finds and household objects of their district in one place, so a visit is a compact introduction to local history.
The museum stands on Tolmedrese Street in the Meydan quarter, in the old centre of the town. Detailed public information about its collection is scarce, so expect a modest, regional display rather than a large national museum.
Tips
- Little is published about this museum, so check the official Ministry of Culture and Tourism page for current opening status before travelling.
