The newly opened Tunceli Museum in Türkiye’s Tunceli province was awarded the second-best museum in Europe at the European Museum Academy Luigi Micheletti Awards. Built on an area of 5,500 square meters, the museum sheds light on the city’s thousands of years of history with 2,000 historical artifacts. The museum, consisting of four blocks, houses pottery, stone tools, various metals, and artifacts, as well as an exhibition hall with panels providing information about Alevism and its rituals.
The museum building, designed by German architects in the city center in 1935 and subsequently used as a military barracks for an extended period, gained its status as a museum after restoration works were completed by 2020
