The Antalya Museum is a major regional museum in the city of Antalya, southwestern Turkey, that displays archaeological and ethnographic material from the surrounding province.

The museum’s collections grew from archaeological excavations in Antalya Province and were assembled to present the region’s long occupation history. The institution expanded over the 20th century as finds from local digs were transferred into museum care.

Located in the city of Antalya on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, the museum serves as the principal display centre for antiquities found across Antalya Province.

• Regional collections: Notable for extensive finds from ancient Pamphylia, including statues and funerary monuments from nearby archaeological sites.
• Nearby sites: Best visited alongside excursions to Perge, Aspendos and Termessos when planning a day of archaeology in Antalya Province.
