Izmir - Archeological Museum

Above Konak Square in Izmir a little way southeast on the curving main road to the south lies the recently-constructed Archeological Museum. It contains many interesting finds from ancient Smyrna, Ephesus, Miletus, Sardis, Pergamon, Tralleis (Aydin) and other sites. Among particularly notable exhibits are figures of Poseidon and Demeter (A.D. second century) from the agora at Smyrna, various sarcophagi, a colossal Roman head, a mosaic pavement, fine collections of glass, coins and jewelry and a bronze figure of Demeter from Halikarnassos (Bodrum; fourth century B.C.)
