The museum has many antique sculptures, sarcophagi, and coins of various ancient states. Part of the exhibition is dedicated to Troy: it shows the stages of the city's development and the artifacts found during its excavations. One of the halls explains in detail how archaeologists work. The museum has two floors, and the building is large, so if you look at everything in detail, you can spend several hours or more. There is a free audio guide for your phone, which also has the Russian language, but there are several nuances with its installation. Inside the museum, near the turnstiles, there is a stand with a QR code, with which you can download an audio guide application to your phone. You can do this if you have a mobile Internet connection, and there is no free Wi-Fi on the museum's territory. Next, using the audio guide application, you need to scan the QR code from the entrance ticket to the museum, and then you can download the actual audio guide files. A ticket to the museum can be purchased either at the ticket office near the entrance, or online on the official website. The cost in January 2025 is 15 euros.

The Archaeological Museum in Istanbul is certainly one of the best museums in the city with a rich collection of historical artifacts. Greek sculptures, household items and tableware, sarcophagi and ritual burial paraphernalia, as well as a separate hall dedicated to the semi-mythical city of Troy - all that makes up the cultural stratum of the ancient peoples who inhabited the Turkish lands long before the Ottomans. I highly recommend it to all History lovers.
