Arkeoloji Müzesi

In 1965, construction of the museum building began on an area of 1500 square meters in the Şanlıurfa Merkez Şehitlik area. Following the completion of the building’s construction and the exhibition and arrangement works, Şanlıurfa Museum was opened to visitors in 1969. However, the museum building in question could not meet sufficient capacity to exhibit the region’s rich archaeological and cultural values.
