Çankırı Museum: Journey through Time in Türkiye's Hidden Gem!

Çankırı Museum

Museum activities in Çankırı began in 1972 and moved to the Old Çankırı Government Office building in 2017 due to the growing collection. This historic building, constructed in 1905, now houses the Çankırı Museum, which includes Natural History, Archaeology, and Ethnography departments. The museum is notable for its palaeontological finds from Çorakyerler, including fossils of giraffes, elephants, and the unique Anatolian Saber-toothed Tiger. The ground floor displays historical artefacts, coins, and glass objects, while the first floor exhibits ethnographic items from the Ottoman and Early Republican periods, highlighting local culture, traditional crafts, and historical themes such as Mevlevism and the Independence Road.
