Istanbul Archaeological Museum

I really liked a lot of the ways they displayed things here.

There were pictures on the wall of enhanced details of statues in the room. It was fun to try to find these.

Wherever there was a headless body, there was also an array of heads.

... hmm... I think I'll wear this head today...


Broken objects were displayed so that you could understand how they may have looked/worked before.

The tombstones were set in a graveyard scene that could have fit into any haunted house.

This was a huge mosaic laid out on the floor. The lighting made fore wonderful pictures that capture the general idea from far away and excellent up close detail shots.

These columns continued into the floor, with glass plates where they met the floor line allowing them to be lit from below.

This room was set up with pieces that would have lined the walls (possibly doorways) of ancient buildings and allowed you to walk among them, underneath of the, and really experience them.


... And you could touch almost everything.
