Konya's Arkeoloji Müzesi (Archeological Museum) is just west of the Sahip-i Ata Mosque Complex, south of the Alaettin Tepesi hill.

Besides the expected Roman, Byzantine and Seljuk artifacts, the museum holds an assortment of finds from the Neolithic tumulus at Çatal Höyük, which in itself is a reason to visit.

The museum is of the old Turkish style, rather bare and spartan, but this doesn't matter as the exhibits speak for themselves. The collection is particularly rich in sarcophagi and other burial treasures.

The museum is open daily except Monday from 09:00 am to 12:00 noon and from 13:00 to 17:00 (1 to 5 pm) for TL2.
