Miletus Museum exhibits finds from the site – ancient glass, pottery and votive stelae, statues (including river god Meander in repose, taken from the Baths of Faustina), numerous classical, Roman and Byzantine coins, and exquisite gold pendants, necklaces and rings from ancient tombs.
Crucially, the museum has informative wall placards, geographical maps and city plans of the original Miletus and Priene settlements, which help visitors understand these cities – and appreciate just how different the Anatolian coast looked before river silt deformed it.
