Its story
The Kaman-Kalehöyük Archaeology Museum is in the village of Çağırkan, about 3 km east of Kaman and about 2 km south of the excavation site. The governments of Türkiye and Japan agreed in 2005 to establish the museum; construction began in 2008 and the museum opened in 2010. Works belonging to seven civilizations, found in the excavations led by Sachihiro Omura, are displayed here in chronological order. Right next to the museum is the Prince Mikasa Japanese Memorial Garden; together they make an enjoyable half-day visit.
