Zeugma Mosaic Museum
One of the world’s premier mosaic museums, displaying thousands of square meters of Roman villa floor pavements rescued from ancient Zeugma on the Euphrates.
Floor mosaics, frescoes, and sculptures excavated during the Euphrates rescue campaigns at ancient Zeugma are presented here in multi-level galleries scaled to evoke their original Roman courtyard villas. Highlights include the enigmatic ‘Gypsy Girl’ mosaic in its dedicated darkened chamber, the bronze statue of Mars (Ares), and the expansive Oceanus-Tethys and Poseidon villa pavements.
Why visit
To stand before the Gypsy Girl mosaic and see entire Roman villa courtyard pavements reconstructed with their original colonnades.
Enter near opening time and head first to the second-floor Gypsy Girl chamber, then view the main villa pavements from the upper walkway.
