Love Turkey's Local Museums

Amasra has a great history, some of it is lodged here in this museum. Well worth a visit to remind oneself of who else has walked around Amasra.

Even the garden is enchanting
Unfortunately the museum was closed due to renovation when we visited Amasra. But we were together with a history professor who is specialized in Amasra and thanks to his deep knowledge, we have been able to enjoy the impressive artefacts displayed in the beautiful gardens. Pity that there were no signs nor explanations next to the artefacts, as it makes it impossible for common visitors to understand their value. Collection in the garden covered periods from Genoa to Ottomans.

Great lapidarium, main collection closed
The tiny museum has one of the best locations I've seen - at the smaller harbor on the Black Sea coast, with a rocky mountain in the background and it is impossible to miss it. However, it is currently closed for restoration for an indefinite period. You might catch a glimpse of the famous emperor torso at the entrance of the museum. Still, it is possible to see the courtyard of the museum, full of a surprisingly good collection of marblework. Roman architectural details and gravestones prevail, as well as some artefacts from the Genoese fortress at Amasra. There is little description about the display and it will impress only those specially interested in archaeology. If you admire Roman monuments, the museum staff can also advise you on how to reach Kuskayasi (Bird's Rock Monument), an impressive relief outside the town.
