Bursa Archaeology Museum gathers finds from the surrounding region, including material from ancient Bithynia, Roman and Byzantine sites, and earlier Anatolian settlements. It gives historical depth to a city better known for Ottoman architecture and thermal baths.
The museum is a useful complement to Bursa's mosques and bazaars, especially for visitors interested in what came before the Ottoman capital. It is compact enough to fit into a wider city itinerary.
