Erimtan Arkeoloji ve Sanat Müzesi
Classical Archaeology & Contemporary Fine Art Exhibitions
About
The museum’s programme focuses on interdisciplinary dialogues between classical archaeology and contemporary artistic practices, using temporary exhibitions to explore themes such as desire, memory, and the role of fiction in shaping historical narratives. Its ongoing initiatives extend beyond static display to include musical performances, academic conferences, and structured educational workshops, positioning the venue as a multidisciplinary cultural hub.
The Erimtan Archaeology and Art Museum is a private institution in Ankara, Turkey, housing a collection of approximately two thousand movable artifacts of Anatolian origin. Founded in 1960 by Yüksel Erimtan starting with Roman intaglios, the collection was later expanded with guidance from qualified archaeologists. The museum presents temporary exhibitions that bridge archaeology and contemporary art, alongside regular programming that includes concert series, conferences, and educational workshops for school groups. It operates daily except Mondays from 10:00 to 18:00 and charges an entrance fee.
