The town's archaeology museum displays finds excavated at surrounding sites, including Zincirli, Karkamis, and Sakçaközu. It's a small collection, but history lovers will still appreciate a visit here, particularly for the Hittite remains in the Karkamis exhibits.
The Karkamis site was first excavated by a British Museum team in the years leading up to World War I, and one of the two archaeologists in charge of the site was TE Lawrence, who went on to find fame as "Lawrence of Arabia" for his exploits in the war helping to lead the Arab Revolt.
