The Trabzon Museum, also known as the Kostaki Mansion, reopened on May 30 to visitors following nearly eight years of comprehensive restoration and exhibition work.
The museum now features thousands of artifacts, including traces of human life dating back 10,000 years and lots of items from the Roman and late Ottoman periods.
Among the highlights are prehistoric stone tools such as flint and obsidian implements unearthed in the Koskarlı Cave in the Düzköy district. These artifacts, made from raw materials like volcanic glass, are believed to have been used by the earliest inhabitants of the region. They reveal that cave-dwelling humans lived in what is now Trabzon around 10,000 years ago.
