Anatolian Civilizations museum Impressions

Having connection with neolithic and paleolithic people situation is really interesting for me. When I trip to Anatolian Civilizations Museum, I can easily say that even their materials seems like old age, we can still use them in modern way.  For instance there are lots of examples of pitcher and even todays world people use pitcher as a decoration material, like 30-40 years ago, they also use it in real manner. Also their workmanship are seems good. It shows us they also give importance to design.
Museum does not only include paleolithic and neolithic age. We can also see trace about more developed civilizations. But our topic include paleolithic and neolithic age. So lets try to observe their world.
In paleolithic age, little rocks are key element for them. They use stone in lots of different manner. They try to shape the stone and time after time usage of material developed.

Neolithic age is much more different than Paleolithic age. When we look at Çatalhöyük, even there is no streets, they have order and because of their knowledge about using stone they process çatalhöyük's plan into rock. Also there are some drawings about their daily life in here. It is just a kind of saying that we are here. And this it can be accept as starting of architecture.

ARCH 402 : MUSEUM

Library of Alexandria accept as beginning of museum history. Aim of the library is quite simple at that point: try to reach whole written sources and collect them into one place. Approach to library is not only relate with collecting something. Library also use for discover something. Thats why this library surround with arbitarium. Other discoveries, especially math and geography, in library have crucial role for Alexandria city.
