Van Müzesi

This gleaming glass structure at the foot of Van Castle, built after Van's original museum was damaged in the 2011 earthquakes, houses the world's pre-eminent collection of Urartian exhibits including exquisite gold jewelry and an array of bronze belts, helmets, horse armor and terracotta figures.
