Antalya - The Old Yacht Harbor & the Archeological Museum The founding and development of the Antalya Museum is unusual. On 25 March 1919 the Italians occupied Antalya. Archeologists who came to Antalya with the occupying forces started to collect the antique items found in the course of their exploration of the region and transported them to the Italian Consulate. The small abandoned mosque next to the Tekeli Mehmet Pasa Mosque was rearranged and the foundation of the Antalya Museum was laid. When the Italians evacuated Antalya the works of art they had collected were transported to this little museum. After 1937 the Fluted Minaret Mosque was used as a museum. However, more and more ancient remains were being unearthed and exhibited. Today’s Antalya Museum on Konyaalti (now called Org.Kenan Evren Bulvari) on the outskirts of the city, reflects the contemporary museum concepts and is one of Turkey’s largest museums, with 14 exhibition halls and an open air gallery. $50 Antalya - The Old Yacht Harbor & the Archeological Museum
