Manisa 6065.jpg

The museum, next to the Muradiye Mosque, has a fine collection. Though the archeaological department was closed due to a lack of employees. I could not take a picture of a special treasure, but on the other hand was provided with a special guide with whom I toured the whole museum and its garden, and since he was an expert on some subjects we had pleasant discussons. Thanks.

This is inside the garden, with lots of gravestones, many of them Ottoman, some older. You can see the neighbouring mosque.

This is another of those two sided axes that refer to some representation of Zeus, compare the Arch with an Axe in Milas
