Corum Museum Located near the Monument of Martyrs in the heart of the city, the Çorum Museum officially opened its doors on October 13, 1968. This single-story structure features four main exhibition galleries, along with dedicated areas for storage and a photographic laboratory. The museum houses a remarkable collection of archaeological artifacts unearthed from key ancient sites such as Alacahöyük, Boğazköy, Ortaköy, Eskiyapar, Pazarlı, Kuşsaray, and Alişar Höyük. In the first exhibition hall and the adjacent corridor, visitors can explore a wide range of historical objects including coins, ceramic vessels, glass perfume bottles, lachrymatories, figurines, statuettes, ritual cups, steles, sarcophagi, and column capitals. Additionally, a chronological display showcases jewelry from the Hellenistic (300 BC – 30 BC), Roman (30 BC – 300 AD), and Byzantine (300 AD – 1500s) eras. The Çorum Museum presents a rich array of historical objects from the Hittite and Phrygian civilizations. Among the exhibits are beak-spouted vessels, ceremonial bath basins, flask-style drinking cups, and moulded vases along with crucibles shaped in diverse forms. Visitors can also admire painted wall reliefs, multicolored terracotta panels, and a selection of pottery, stone tools, and bronze artifacts from various time periods. The collection includes Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age pottery, as well as idols and metal spear tips excavated from Alişar. In the third and fourth exhibition rooms, the museum highlights the region's rich ethnographic heritage with displays of traditional Çorum rugs and kilims, regional attire, jewelry and adornments for both genders, wood-carved items, and religious texts originating from the Seljuk and Ottoman eras. In the museum's outdoor area, guests can view a fountain featuring a striking bull sculpture, along with statues from the Roman and Byzantine eras.
