Boğazköy Museum
Boğazköy Museum




The true treasures behind the traces you see in the stones of Hattusha are displayed here…
Located in the center of Boğazkale, the Boğazköy Museum houses archaeological artifacts excavated from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hattusha.
Seals, clay tablets, figurines of gods and goddesses, spearheads, and ornaments — all these objects tell the story of the past in a silent yet deeply moving way.
Through its modern design, the museum creates a bridge between ancient history and contemporary presentation, offering visitors a simple but powerful experience.
Opened in 1966, the museum gathers finds from Hattusha, Yazılıkaya, Maşat Höyük, and nearby archaeological sites.
Among the most striking exhibits are Hittite cuneiform tablets, stamp seals, and cult objects.
The museum provides unique insights into the daily life, religious practices, and state organization of the Hittite civilization.
In 2011, it was renovated and redesigned to match modern exhibition standards.
Viofun’s Recommendation
Spend some extra time in the tablet section.
As you look at each piece, remember that you are facing texts written thousands of years ago — laws, treaties, or prayers preserved through time.
After your visit, explore the local market nearby to find handcrafted souvenirs that will make your journey through history last a little longer.
