The Architecture of this museum definitely does justice to what it encloses. The spaces are large but reasonably well separated and delineated. The placement and presentation of the mosaics which were removed from the town of Zeugma (Belkis) were thought out well for observing and photography. The lighting could probably have been better, especially for the rendering of ancient floor... More

This museum is very new. It is very well designed. I celebrate all the people who worked to build such a well organized museum.. It is maybe the biggest mosaic museum of the world. Several homes of the rich people who once lived in Zeugma and the mosaics from their homes.

My visit there was the best 3... More

Not to be missed, but be careful : it is closed on Mondays. The building itself is modern architecture at its best with parquet floors. The explanations are exhaustive and in perfect English. There is hands-on activities for both children and adults. Some of the mosaics are really striking by theirs colours and sophistication. An immense photo of the site... More
