Karaman Museum
Merkez, Karaman
A museum behind the Hatuniye Madrasa displaying archaeological and ethnographic works of the Karaman region from the Epipaleolithic to the Ottoman period.
Its story
Work that began in 1962 as a depot museum because of the richness of artifacts in the region turned into a museum in the present building in 1980, after the works had moved several times. The archaeology hall displays prehistoric finds from excavations of the surrounding mounds, Bronze Age ceramics, and works from the Roman and Byzantine periods. The ethnography hall contains the clothing, carpets and kilims, weapons and everyday items of the Karaman region. The garden has stone works and gravestones; the Hatuniye Madrasa right in front of it can be seen on the same visit.
