Çorum Museum

The Çorum Museum, which houses archaeological and ethnographic collections, is located in a historic building and presents its artifacts in chronological order. Particularly noteworthy are the artifacts from the Hittite period, brought from archaeological sites such as Hattusa, Alacahöyük, Ortaköy (Šapinuwa), and Kuşsaray. Among the museum's highlights are the Hittite Bronze Sword from 1430 BCE, clay tablets, the Alacahöyük Tomb, and relief-decorated vases. In the ethnography hall, works reflecting Turkish art from the Seljuk and Ottoman periods to the present day are on display, and visitors have the opportunity to experience writing with the Hittite alphabet. Established in 1968 and operating in its current building since 2003, the museum offers a wide range of artifacts, from the Chalcolithic period to the Roman period. The museum also sheds light on Hittite burial practices through findings from the Resuloğlu Cemetery, which predates the Hittites, and Early Bronze Age tombs from Alacahöyük. Visitors can explore the remains of Hattusa and a Hittite chariot through virtual displays, experiencing the grandeur of Hittite architecture. Additionally, the Ethnography Hall presents artifacts from the Phrygian, Hellenistic, Roman, and Eastern Roman periods, offering a comprehensive introduction to Turkish cultural heritage.
