.Burdur is a small provincial town: yet it hosts a splendid archaeological museum. In the official web site of the Turkish Ministry of Culture it is said that this museum has more than 50,000 items in stock and that it is one of the best in Turkey: I fully agree with this last statement. The museum has two distinct galleries: 1) Greek and Roman sculptures on the ground floor and in the garden; 2) prehistoric artefacts on the first floor. Both are of extreme interest. THE SCULPTURE GALLERY. The ground floor and the garden are completely dedicated to the Greco-Roman sculptures found in Sagalassos, Cremna ("Kremna") and Cibyra Magna ("Kibyra"). The pieces on display can be counted by the hundreds, and would make the glory of a Museum in London or in Berlin. There are statues (mostly of emperors and gods), busts (as above), friezes, sculpted sarcophaguses and sculpted panels. There are practically no "fragments", but only complete or nearly-complete items; most of them are in perfect conditions, all of them are of extraordinary beauty, many of them are masterpieces. A particular mention deserve the three sculpted friezes. The most beautiful one was reclaimed at Sagalassos; it is several metres long and has many panels decorated with dancing girls; it is probably the most moving piece of the museum and, when I looked at it, it came natural to me to compare them with the Parthenon friezes. Another one, coming from a tomb of Kibyra, represents battles among gladiators; the third one, also from Kibyra, represents sacrifices or killing of animals. The presentation is very captivating; lighting is perfect and allows taking good pictures. Abundant information is given in the panels displayed in the rooms: they are in Turkish and English languages . Each item is appropriately labelled in the same languages. The gallery continues in the gardens, where additional dozens of extraordinary statues, sculpted panels and sarcophaguses are on display. Visiting this gallery requires at least one hour; two hours are more appropriate. THE PREHISTORIC GALLERY. The first floor of the museum is dedicated to ancient coins and prehistoric artefacts. the collection of ceramics is particularly interesting, especially for the oldest ones. Those which date 3 to 5 millennia B.C. look very modern in shape and decoration (which is mainly geometrical), and you could easily believe that they have been created by some renowned artist of our times! Going through the exhibition I discovered with amazement that the creativity of the ceramists was decreasing as the time passed, so that the so praised vases of the Hellenistic and Roman period appear more conventional and mannerist when compared to the more ancient ones. The visit of this gallery can take from half an hour upwards. The museum is open from 8:30 to 12:00 and from 13:30 to 19:00, except Mondays. Admission is 12 Liras (April 2019, about 2 €). It is fully accessible. There are restrooms.
