Van Müzesi: Unearth Millennia of Civilisation in Türkiye's Timeless Treasure Trove!

Van Museum

The main reason for Van's cultural wealth, which can be described as the intersection point of civilizations, is the heritage left by the many civilizations it has sheltered. The Urartians, who emerged in this region in BCE 900 and chose fertile and beautiful Van as their capital, were a civilization far ahead of their era in architecture, technology, art and mining. The Van Museum (Van Müzesi), which offers a comprehensive perspective on the Urartians, awaits visitors who desire to see the heritage of all the civilizations that have left their mark over thousands of years of history in the ancient city of Van, especially this resplendent civilization.
