About Gordion Müzesi ve Ören Yeri

Gordion Museum in Yassıhöyük, Polatlı, opened in 1963. Its displays include Bronze Age and Phrygian pottery, iron tools, textile-production equipment, seals and coins, alongside Greek, Hellenistic and Roman finds. A reconstructed Galatian tomb stands in the museum garden, while Phrygian burial mounds form part of the surrounding archaeological landscape.
