Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye [ˈtyɾcije]), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti [ˈtyɾcije d͡ʒumˈhuɾijeti] ( listen)), is a transcontinental country in Eurasia, mainly in Anatolia in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries with Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south. The country is encircled by seas on three sides with the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, which together form the Turkish Straits, divide Thrace and Anatolia and separate Europe and Asia. Ankara is the capital while Istanbul is the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre, classified as a leading global city.

This fascinating museum contains over 200,000 historic pieces of which only a fraction can be displayed at one time. Exhibits include Early Bronze Age statues and Neolithic wall paintings.
This is an outstanding museum, one of the best I have ever visited. The exhibits are fascinating and particularly well curated. This should be on everyone's "must see list" when in Turkey. I visited Ankara specifically to see this place and it was absolutely worth the trip. A circuit covers the history of Anatolia from the Paleolithic era through to the Uratians documented with amazing artifacts. Don't miss it! My only (small) compliant is that a few items were missing leaving an empty stand with the identity card still beside it. I expect they were on loan to other museums but it would have been nice to have some explanation provided.

This museum houses a rich collection of folkloric artifacts, and was the first resting place of Ataturk until the completion of his mausoleum in 1953.
This is a beautiful smallish museum displaying clothing, decorative objects and recreated rooms. There is useful English signage to help explain more about the objects as well as the customs in which they are used. There is parking available at the next door Museum of Art and Sculpture.
