The Antalya Ethnography Museum

The Antalya Ethnography Museum, formed by the restoration of two historic mansions dating back to the Ottoman period, is located in the tourist district of Kaleiçi in the city center.

The museum is divided into Lower and Upper Mansions, with the Lower Mansion showcasing Turkish-Islamic artifacts, while the Upper Mansion displays objects depicting the daily life of Antalya's residents during the Ottoman era through reconstructions.

On the first floor of the Lower Mansion, alongside artifacts unearthed in excavations in Kaleiçi, fragments of ceramics dating back to the Seljuk period, when Aspendos Theater served as a palace, are exhibited. Among Ottoman artifacts are pieces produced in ceramic centers of the period such as İznik, Kütahya, and Çanakkale, along with handmade glassware. The second floor is dedicated to Ottoman-era weapons, daily-use items, and examples of calligraphy.

In the Upper Mansion, where reconstructions play a significant role, visitors can experience Ottoman-era home life in Antalya through different rooms and period-specific items. The museum also brings to life the culture of the Yörüks, which holds an important place in Antalya's heritage.

Outside in the mansions' gardens, visitors can view inscriptions and cannonballs dating back to the Seljuk and Ottoman periods.
