Karain Cave

A museum in Turkey's south sheds light on different periods of Anatolian history, taking visitors on a journey through time.

Located in the Mediterranean province of Antalya's city center and known as one of the most significant archaeology museums of the world, Antalya Museum stands out with its treasures and sculptures from different periods.

Archaeologists in Turkey have discovered the world's second oldest axe, at Antalya's Karain Cave, believed to be 350,000 years old.

Archeologists have discovered the bones of a large 350,000-year-old animal during excavations at the Karain Cave in the southern Turkish province of Antalya.

Findings from 200,000 years ago that have been discovered during Sürmecik excavations, which were initiated after fossils found in the Aegean province of Uşak's Banaz district, are expected to shed light on the lifestyle of Neanderthal people who lived in the Paleolithic age. 

A new project titled “The World’s Largest Museum: Turkey,” which includes a book, photography exhibition and a documentary film, was launched over the weekend at the Istanbul Archaeology Museums.

The project was initiated jointly by the Culture and Tourism Ministry, the Turkish Travel Agencies Union (TÜRSAB) Museums Initiatives, and the Bilkent Cultural Initiatives.
