Despite the
many centuries of excavations in Troy, the time has come (at last!) to build its own museum on the site. It is located
some 800 meters
outside the ancient city, and from the pictures, it looks very promising.
Beyond Troy, about 40,000 artifacts have
been transferred from the Archaeology Museum in Istanbul , the Museum
of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara,
and the Archaeological Museum of Çanakkale. It is nice to have the finds
concentrated in one single building.
Besides Troy,
artifacts from the greater area are being exhibited here also. Those
archaeological remains include finds from cities like Assos, Tenedos, Parium, Alexandria Troas ,
Smintheion, Lampsacus, Thymbra, Tavolia, and Imbros.
