Musadağ Müzesi

Story

Set in Samandağ's sea-view location, the Musa Dağı Museum stands like a storehouse of treasures bearing witness to ancient times. In this institution, which preserves the cultural memory of the Hatay region and passes it on to new generations, impressive sculptures, tiled ceramics, and inscribed works from the Hellenistic and Roman ages are presented. Collections that recount the periods when the region held importance as a commercial and cultural center take visitors back to the glorious days of ancient Seleucia Pieria. The Mediterranean seen from the museum's window is as captivating as the display cases holding the historic works. An interesting fact: some of the sculptures and artifacts here flawlessly reflect the meticulous craftsmanship and aesthetic understanding of artists from more than 2,000 years ago. Our visiting suggestion: come in the morning hours, and after touring the museum, immerse yourself in Samandağ's quiet beauty at one of the seaside cafés on your way out.
