A magnificent witness to the traces left by this ancient settlement on the banks of the Tigris River, the museum offers a journey through time with finds ranging from rock-cut structures to the Bronze Age. Its Islamic-period ceramics and the way it displays the fine craftsmanship of local artists make Hasankeyf's rich cultural fabric easy to grasp. The architectural details from the 12th-century Ayyubid period and the examples of metalwork are the collection's most captivating pieces. When you visit the museum, be sure to make use of the guides' narration; the stories behind each artifact and the region's geological formations will take you on a deep journey through time.
