Amasya museum
Museum located in the city center was used to be a store where a few archeological artifacts and Islamic period Mummies kept. The museum store was a part of mosque complex which was built to the name of Sultan Mehmet II in 1925.
However in time with the additional artifacts and findings it was needed to have a bigger place so museum was changed into a place to monumental Seljukian period Mosque ( gokmedrese ) in 1962.
The museum moved to The present building on March 22, 1977, and all the things are exhibited arranged and put in a chronological in order to make people understand more about history.
