About Efes Müzesi
The Ephesus Museum is in Selçuk, separate from the ruins of the ancient city. The collection brings together objects from research in the region and helps to understand what does not appear in the excavated streets and buildings. The visit works as a complement, not as a substitute for the walk through the site.
Sculptures, decorative elements and everyday life objects allow you to link the monumental space to uses closer to people. The representations of Artemis are well known in the collection and help to understand Ephesus’s religious importance in Antiquity.
Allow a less rushed period for the galleries, before or after the archaeological site. The urban location makes it easy to combine the museum with other visits in Selçuk. Confirm the ticket and available spaces, without assuming that any Ephesus entry automatically includes the museum.
