About the museum
Isparta's museum work began in 1933, when archaeological finds and Islamic gravestones were gathered in a room of the People's House. When that closed, the finds moved between stores until a proper building was ready. Foundations were laid in 1971 and the building was completed in 1984, and the museum opened on 6 March 1985.
The two-storey building was repaired in 1997, and its display was renewed in 2002. Its galleries are divided into four main sections: Archaeology, Treasury, Ethnography and Carpets.
The collections give a compact picture of the province, from ancient finds to the crafts and textiles of local life. It is a straightforward city museum, useful as a first stop in Isparta.
