Exploring the Antalya Archaeology Museum in Turkey

Not your typical museum - the Antalya Archaeology Museum along the Turkish Riviera showcases a wonderful selection of artifacts, ornate tombs and gorgeous marbles from the middle Roman period (2nd and 3rd century AD).

Perhaps one of the most striking figures is the beautifully displayed statue of Heracles.

Though not shown in this video, the museum also has a mixture of historic pottery and similar artifacts, a collection of ancient coins, and beautifully preserved early Christian artwork in addition to rugs and period clothing.

You can find the museum website here: http://www.antalyamuzesi.gov.tr/en/th...

You can find my video about the city of Antalya here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CslXtI... and as always see photos from the visit and learn the stories behind it on my blog, http://virtualwayfarer.com.

If you've got a specific question, I'm always happy to answer it if I can. Your feedback and thumbs up are appreciated! Thanks for watching!
