Archaeology Museum In the early years of the Turkish Republic, the Asar-ı Atika Muhipleri Cemiyeti (Association for Ancient Monuments) played a significant role in preserving historic sites and artifacts. As part of their efforts, the Gedik Ahmet Pasha School, also known as Taş Madrasa, was repurposed as a storage facility for old works. The town association's leader, Süleyman Gönçer, was appointed to oversee the school's transformation into an official warehouse in 1931. Under Mr. Gönçer's guidance, the former school was expanded to include local institutions and a community center. In 1933, the 10th year of the Republic, the site was opened as a museum, with Süleyman Gönçer assuming the role of head. Today, the museum stands as a testament to the efforts of those who worked to protect and promote Turkey's rich cultural heritage. Originally established as a mixed museum in 1933, the Afyon Museum was relocated to a new building on the premises of the Museum Directorate and Archaeology Museum in 1970. Meanwhile, the Gedik Ahmet Pasha School, which had served as a warehouse for stone works and ethnographic artifacts from 1971 to 1995, was transformed into a museum after undergoing restoration and arrangement between 1978 and 1994. Unfortunately, the building has been closed since 1996 due to difficulties in preventing humidity from damaging the monuments, and the artifacts are now stored at the Directorate headquarters. However, plans are being made for a future exhibition. The Archaeology Museum boasts a rich collection of artifacts from different historical periods, including statues and coins from the Bronze, Hittite, Phrygian, Lydia, Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine eras. These relics provide valuable insights into the region's past and offer visitors a glimpse into the diverse cultures that have shaped Afyon's history.
