The Museum of Prehistory and Early History presents a comparison of occidental and oriental cultures from the beginning of human activity through to the medieval period. The collection is impressively broad and contains two major highlights—the awe-inspiring Collection of Trojan Antiquities, donated to the city by explorer Heinrich Schliemann (credited with discovering the ancient city of Troy) and Caucasus Collection, the largest collection of ancient metallic and ceramic objects outside the former Soviet Union. Both of these geographical areas are reckoned to be the cradle of humanity, yet both are difficult to define as either 'occident' or 'orient'. A thought-provoking collection.
