A free, year-round Ministry of Culture and Tourism museum in the four-story, late-19th-century Halil Paşa Mansion in Karadeniz Ereğli, Zonguldak — Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman collections by floor. Not the same museum as Ereğli Museum in Konya Province.
Where it is

Why go
Karadeniz Ereğli Museum is housed in the Halil Paşa Mansion (Konak), a four-story late-19th-century brick building in Karadeniz Ereğli (Kdz. Ereğli), on Zonguldak Province's Black Sea coast. Its collection is arranged by floor and spans Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman artifacts, alongside regional ethnographic items. The museum is run by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism through the Zonguldak Karadeniz Ereğli Müze Müdürlüğü, which also oversees two other affiliated sites in the district, the Filyos Tios Ancient City and the Cehennemağzı Caves. Entry is free. Note the name collision: this is a different museum from the unrelated "Ereğli Museum" in Ereğli district, Konya Province, in Central Anatolia — a different building, in a different city, under a different provincial museum directorate.
Getting there
Orhanlar Mahallesi, Yalı Caddesi, No:96, Karadeniz Ereğli, Zonguldak. "Yalı" means waterfront/shore street, consistent with the coordinate's proximity to the Black Sea coastline. Contact: tel 0 372 323 45 57, email ereglimuzesi@kultur.gov.tr.
