About the museum
Erzincan Museum sits in the centre of the city and presents the layered history of the region, from prehistoric times to the Ottoman period. It is a good first stop for anyone who wants to understand what this crossroads of eastern Anatolia has seen.
The archaeology section brings together objects from the Chalcolithic and Bronze Ages, the Urartian kingdom, and the Roman and Byzantine periods. Look for pottery, small figurines, jewellery and seals, along with tools and objects of daily life.
The ethnography section shows how people in and around Erzincan lived: regional clothing, carpets and kilims, copper kitchenware, weapons and handicrafts. A further section gathers coins from different eras, ornaments and small finds recovered in excavations.
