Antalya Ethnography Museum

Small Kaleiçi museum of Ottoman-era Antalya domestic life, textiles, and local crafts

Antalya Ethnography Museum is a compact stop in Kaleiçi, housed in restored historic buildings rather than a purpose-built gallery. The displays look at the late Ottoman and early republican life of the region through clothing, household objects, crafts, ceramics, and ritual items.

It is not a replacement for the main Antalya Museum, which remains the heavyweight archaeological collection. Its value is different: it gives the old town a human scale, helping you imagine the domestic and commercial life that once filled the lanes around the harbour.
