The collection includes works from the Paleolithic onward, through the Hittite, Phrygian, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods. The region's well-known Bronze Age finds and sculptures of Dokimeion marble stand out. Ethnographic items from the Seljuk, Ottoman and Republican periods, as well as sculptures and architectural pieces in the garden, are also on display.
