The city's main museum, displaying Cilicia's finds from prehistory to Byzantium, from Yumuktepe to Soli.
Its story
The museum, operating in its new, spacious building, presents works from excavations in and around Mersin in a chronological arrangement. The Neolithic finds from Yumuktepe, pottery from Tarsus Gözlükule, Roman-period statues, mosaics and coins are the collection's highlights. Visiting before touring the ancient cities makes it easier to grasp the history of the region as a whole.
