Zeugma Mosaic Museum

A museum in Gaziantep province that houses mosaics excavated from the ancient city of Zeugma, showcasing Roman-period floor mosaics and figurative panels.

Large gallery spaces with extensive mosaic floors and panels displayed in situ-style mounts, including well-known figurative works that have been widely reproduced. The museum presents archaeological context alongside the mosaics and interprets the civic and domestic origins of the pieces.

The collection was assembled after archaeological excavations at the Euphrates river site of Zeugma, where significant mosaic pavements were excavated and conserved for public display. The museum was established to provide a permanent home for those finds and to improve conservation and public access.

Located in Gaziantep Province in southeastern Turkey, the museum is in the provincial city and serves as a regional cultural institution for mosaics recovered from local archaeological sites.
