İzmir Ticaret Tarihi Müzesi

About İzmir Ticaret Tarihi Müzesi

The İzmir Commerce History Museum is housed on the lower floor of the İzmir Chamber of Commerce building on Atatürk Caddesi, the seafront Kordon. It was founded in 2003 to present the identity of the city and its trading and cultural history through archaeological and ethnographic objects. The displays run from the Middle Bronze Age to the present day and focus on important pieces from Mediterranean and western Anatolian trade. A scale model of the city of İzmir is one of the original highlights. The chamber presents the museum as a record of the long trading memory of the port city and its place in Mediterranean and Anatolian culture. Visiting: the chamber of commerce lists the museum as open on weekdays from 08:30 to 17:30 and closed at weekends, with free admission. Information and appointments are handled by the chamber.
