THE MUSEUM IN YALVAÇ
Since the Yalvaç public museum was opened in 1966, its collection has continued to grow. Exhibits chronicle the city’s and region’s prehistoric, Classical, early Christian, and Turkish history. At the time of the Michigan expedition, excavated finds were stored first in the garden of the town’s middle school and then in the library. Before the present museum was built, many artifacts that had been excavated at Pisidian Antioch were sent to other museums in the region for storage and display. In recent years, the director of the public museum arranged to have these materials returned to Yalvaç, where they are now attractively shown in modern galleries and the adjacent garden.
