The treasures belonging to the King of Lydia Croesus (560 BC - 546 BC) has been opened to visitors at Uşak Archaeology Museum.
The two-story museum with a total of 2,500 historical artifacts has a covered area of 14,500 square meters, Uşak Archaeological Museum director Şerif Söyler told Anadolu Agency.
"We think that the Karun Treasury, which is displayed in the private area on the second floor, will receive a great deal of attention," Söyler noted.
There are artifacts from the Paleolithic Age to Turkey's early republican period, he added.
The last king of Lydia, Croesus died 546 BC was well-known for his great wealth.
