Ereğli Museum

Ereğli Museum first opened to visitors in 1968. It was under Konya Museum until 1977, became an independent directorate in 1978, and the building was repaired in 1980. It is a small museum, but it manages to show an unbroken sequence from the Neolithic to the Republican period, using closed, open and semi-open displays.

According to the ministry, the ground floor holds marble grave steles from Greek, Roman and Byzantine times collected around Ereğli, along with glassware, jewellery and a coin collection reaching from ancient Greek and Roman to Byzantine, Islamic and Ottoman issues. The first floor has terracotta amphoras, seals and bullae.

Upstairs you can see men's and women's clothing, examples of local weaving such as elpek cloth, tools, jewellery, prayer beads, clocks, kitchenware and measuring instruments. The top floor is arranged as living room, guest room, everyday room and bedroom in the style of a traditional Ereğli house. The garden has architectural fragments from several periods.
