It is a pity that the museum itself (in Selcuk) is closed. Maybe to september 2013, maybe longer. In april 2013 we couldnot see any activity in or around the building. Some reviews are mixing this museum with the outside site of Ephesos. That site has another place to review it.

It's a great site. Dont miss the library and the theatre. I recomend to visit the houses, you have to pay na extra fee. But it worth the stop. Please look the marble puzzle restoration.

Can't really rate it as it's closed though that wasn't even known to our guide. It's been closed since November 2012.

Following a tour of Ephesus I took the bus to Selcuk next day to see the artifacts from the site in the Ephesus Museum. Unfortunately the museum is closed for renovations until end of September 3013. Plenty more sites to visit in Selcuk though including the Basilica of St John and Isa Bay Camii Mosque. The Ayasaluk Fortress which is... More

Well-arranged and not very large museum, nicely placed exposition and inviting courtyard with artefacts. It lies near the crossroads in the Selcuk town, a few km away from the excavation area of Ephesos. Statue of Artemis is unique and similar to one which can be seen in Archeological Museum of Naples, Italy.

I'm the type of person that likes to plan, research and organize myself before trips. I knew my wife and I wanted to go to Ephesus, near Kusadasi Turkey as some friends definitely nudged us to experience it. My thinking was to go to the Ephesus museum first as the finds from the Ephesus site are organized there and I... More

It was alright with the highlights being the busts including Domitian. It is quite small but quite well appointed and clean.

The Ephesus Museum is a great place to go after seeing the ruins, because much of the art, friezes, and frescoes are here on display. The museum is small and can be seen in less than an hour. Across the street is a great open-air place to eat or enjoy a fresh-squeezed glass of orange pomegranate juice, so refreshing and... More

Went to the museum after having visited Ephesus and I thought the museum complimented our visit to the archaeological site. This museum in small so it allows you plenty of time to take in its displays. Whilst the quantity of artifacts is not large, the quality of what is available to see is outstanding. Iwould recommend a visit here, especially... More
