Hi !!!

I've been gone to Istanbul for a couple of days (family reasons). In a meantime, I went to a local museum.
Probably, the best Museum in the world. Take a look at the pics.

I took over 300 pics - amazing place with a lot of unbelievable amount of artifacts.

Wow!

I can't help but think how many of those items, especially the coins, are still buried around the country.

Honestly, I was thinking about taking MD.... But the regulations in Turkey don't give exceptions.

At The Ataturk airport in Istanbul, when you get out of the plane, you can easily see the warnings on your way.
The warnings say, that is not allowed to take out of Turkish territory any of artifacts on your way back Home...
I had no further questions when I saw this warning...

But in my opinion, it's quiet good in some way. They just care about History in Turkey.
I understand this way of care, in Poland should be the same...
