Considered one of Europe's top ten museums, the museum of Troy has an outstanding display of artefacts and it is laid out to entertain as well as inform. Don't miss the view from the roof.
Cooking materials and weapons, along with statues and bricks are all on show. The museum has lifts, and the ramps between floors are slopes should you wish to walk. There are clean toilets and a shop. It is a wonderful modern museum that explains so much.
There has no doubt been many wars and battles here over this piece of land which was by the sea until silt extended the land into the sea and placed the current position inland. The museum and tour of TROY are normally one coach tour. Whilst the museum is easy to walk around, Troy is not so easy. See all the films we have including the one of Çanakkale Port where the horse from the film stands. Turkey has a history of museum activities. Their first museum, established in the Ottoman Period, is today's Istanbul Archeology Museum, followed by museums in Bursa and Sivas. There have been museums in Çanakkale since 1911 but this modern facility, which is amazing, opened in 2018. It is on four floors and in seven sections: Archeology of Troas Region, Bronze Age of Troy, Iliad Epic and Trojan War, Troas and Ilion in Antiquity, Eastern Roman and Ottoman Period, Archeology History, Traces of Troy.
As well as the tombstones, large sculptures, and artefacts there are modern 3D holographic animations and many photographs.
Romulus and Remus are said to be ancient Rome's legendary founders. However, many characters like Helen of Troy may have been made up or based on others, just as stories and religions have done for years and years.

we've just arrived at the Troy Museum
let's take a look
[Music]
although Legend has it that the Trojan
War was about Helen and love it was
actually about wealth power and trade
routes this is a great map of the
excavation layers of Troy and it looks
like there are at least nine layers the
museum is divided into four levels this
sarcophagus is 400 BC it's important
because it's the first time they'd use
colors in the hunting scene and it was
reckoned that a 25 year old man's body
was found inside there in 1882 Troy was
investigated and restored
these artifacts are from the era Troy
one
above the artifacts are films explaining
how they were used
[Music]
Now we move into Troy 2 and it looks
like a more varied diet
by the nature of the artifacts they find
they can actually tell what people ate

it's worth saying that this Museum was
voted one of the top 10 archaeological
museums in Europe
if you've come all this way don't miss
the great view from the Ruth
we're going to be heading towards Troy
now and that's over that way and all
these places are mentioned in the eliad
it is personal choice but I like to do
things in a certain order like with our
film of the Champagne region and I'm so
glad we came to the museum first and are
now going to Troy so it wets my appetite
because otherwise I might have thought
oh I've seen that if we did it the other
way around
there's a cafe and a shop on the ground
floor and very importantly nice clean
restrooms we've arrived at Troy it's
about five minutes away from the museum
in the coach
the important positioning of the land of
Troy meant that it was occupied for over
3 000 years so there was Troy one troy
two right up to Troy nine and they're
all standing on top of each other no one
knows what they were actually called
that archaeologists have labeled them
that Corvette's killing heat here in you
know real hot summer even if you cross
on the zebra Crossing look and wait
remember the old gag how many people can
you fit in a mini well how many people
do you think you could fit in there this
was in the film starring Brad Pitt and
Eric Banner called Troy so if you don't
actually make it to Troy the next best
thing is to come and visit the Trojan
Horse and this model
