Troy has tempted the travellers for thousands of years. Troy Museum situated 700 meters to the east of Troy archaeological site.
Over the centuries, the epic Trojan wars from Homer’s Iliad have been tempted the travellers for thousands of years to come to visit Troy. Situated 700 meters to the east of Troy archaeological site. The Troy Museum attracted visitors to Troy now have a possibility to gain much more information about this archaeological site and put its history into a much broader perspective. Most of the artefacts displayed in the museum had been previously exhibited in the Archaeological Museum in the centre of Çanakkale, far away from the site of Troy. The new arrangement makes it much easier to see these objects, and the visit to the museum is an excellent introduction to the tour of Troy..
It is true that the story of mighty Troy has fascinated travelers for thousands of years. With my wife Kathy, who is very interested in history, we wanted to see the Trojan stories and the conditions of that day once again. There were very few visitors as the tourist season just started and it was important for us that it wasn't crowded. Amongst the exhibites, the small section of golden crowns made of very small and thin leaves of gold and the small medical instruments used in the conditions in those days caught my attention, small bottles with different colors and incredibly beautiful shapes. The techniques of how to set the sail in different seasons at sea used by ships are among the techniques that still using by the seafarers nowadays.
Visit the museum 3rd floor inviting you to meet the emperors. Statues of Hadrian and Augustos and one of the oldest example of sacophagus with figurative narration discovered in Anatoria so far. I also recommend the terrace view. It's a bit windy but plenty of oxygen feels great... The museum exhibits around 2,000 artifacts in total and awaits its visitors with more than 40,000 artifacts in its warehouse.
Text description provided by the architects. The archeological site of Troy has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998 because of its outstanding universal value as a site that has witnessed various civilizations for over 4000 years and has been a significant influence on the development of the European civilization, arts, and literature over two millennia. Museum of Troy, located 800 meters from the site, is honoring this heritage and is a medium to tell the rich history of Troy in relation to its natural, cultural, artistic and archeological context. The museum building was acquired as a result of a national architectural design contest held by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey in 2011. The museum was opened to visitors in October 2018 as a result of 7 years of work.
The building of the Troy Museum stands out in the barren landscape of the Trojan plain, attracting the visitors' attention from afar. If the effect it makes on the visitors is the one that its designers aimed at, remains an open question, to be answered by the guests themselves.The entrance to the Troy Museum entrance is accessed by a large ramp lined with concrete walls with niches holing small exhibits. The ramp leads the visitors to the subterranean floor, with an entrance hall. This level also houses exhibition spaces, a cafe, a restaurant, and a museum shop. There are also conservation laboratories and storage space for the museum's collection, inaccessible to the visitors.The exhibition is divided into four levels, starting at the lowest one: Cities of Troad, Layers of Troy, Ancient World, and Troy Excavation History. Above them, there is a terrace offering the views of the site of Troy and the whole region of the Troad. These four levels provide an overview of Troy and the Troad, divided into seven sections: Troad Region Archaeology, Bronze Age of Troy, Iliad and the Trojan War, Troad and Ilion in Ancient History, Eastern Rome and Ottoman Period, History of Archaeology, and Traces of Troy.The exhibition presents these stories along a chronological timeline highlighting technological changes, social organization, political and economic relations, urban development, daily life, arts, and craftsmanship. The visitors can explore, read, watch, contemplate, and interact with the exhibition at their own pace. Moreover, a special storyline has been prepared within the exhibition for the younger visitors, to evoke their curiosity and facilitate engagement with the artefacts.

The interior of the museum is designed in the industrial style, with bare concrete walls clearly visible. The interiors are minimally furnished, and the building's concrete frame has been left exposed to retain focus on the exhibits. The transparent roof lets the sunlight into the museum. Concrete access ramps connect all the floors of the museum, wrapping around the inside of the cube, and making it accessible for the guests with disabilities.

This one's for those days where you've bitten in to the forbidden fruit, or taken the poisoned apple, just because you were tempted in to trying it. But in the end, you regret it.

“Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour … If at my convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?”

Basically, the rangers at the park warned all visitors to stay back at least 25 feet from the elephant seals. It's mating season and the males are aggressive. They're 2.5 tons and up to 16 feet in length. The distance message is also etched into the beach around each one of these majestic beasts. I'm quite unsure what these two were thinking.
to open that door. no, i didn't.
