The Ahmet Keleşoğlu Archaeology and Ethnography Museum in Ermenek opened on 19 June 2026 -- it is one of the newest museums in the country. It has two floors of display, each with its own theme.
The ground floor is ethnography: objects reflecting social life, custom, production and accumulated culture, weighted towards the Ottoman period and the Karamanid principality that ruled this region before it.
The first floor is archaeology, mostly Roman and Byzantine material, together with coins dated to the Classical and Hellenistic periods.
