Troia Museum

Tevfikiye Yolu, Tevfikiye, Çanakkale

Description

The Troy Museum displays over 2,000 artifacts and exhibits relating to the history not just of Troy but also Assos, Tenedos and Parion, among others. The cube-shaped building opened in 2018 and consists of 4 floors providing visitors with information about the Bronze Age of Troy, the Trojan War and other sites in the area.

Access & Transport

The museum is in Tevfikiye village, a few hundred meters from the archaeological site itself. It is 30km from the city of Çanakkale with minibuses plying the route and well over 300km / 4h drive from Istanbul.

Instructions & Recommendations

We recommend visiting before the ruins to equip yourself with relevant knowledge.

Meta review

The museum gets excellent reviews both as an independent attraction and as a primer for a visit to the ruins of ancient Troy. Reviewers point out the design, well laid out floors as well as the quality of the artefacts on display, including the mosaics at the top. There is a material minority of visitors who state that they found it a far more interesting than the ruins themselves.

Environmental & Social

Minor environmental footprint due to electricity consumption. Helps preserve the architectural and historical heritage of the region

Conclusion

The Troy Museum has a striking design and a comprehensive collection, well laid out over 4 storeys. It is not a substitute but, rather, an ideal companion to the ruins themselves, enhancing the visitors' experience by arming them with knowledge and an interpretation of what they will see.
