Excellent information boards provide a thorough grounding in both Hittite history and culture while the pieces on display – all unearthed at ±á²¹³Ù³Ù³ÜÅŸ²¹ – have been thoughtfully and artistically curated to aid visitor understanding. The pride of the collection are the two original sphinx statues that once stood guard at ±á²¹³Ù³Ù³ÜÅŸ²¹'s Sphinx gate, atop the fortified mound above the postern gate of Yer Kapı. They were only returned to BoÄŸazkale in 2011, having previously been on display in Berlin and Ä°stanbul.
It's one of the best little provincial museums in Turkey and a must for anyone interested in the Hittites.
