The activities of the Science and Technology Collection located within the Middle East Technical University campus are
concentrated on four main areas. These are Science and Technology History Exhibition, Classic Automobiles Exhibition,
Hands-on Science Center and Open Air Exhibition Area. The Science and Technology History Exhibition can be grouped in
three types of exhibitions. The first group is composed of exhibitions showing the advancement of science and technology in
Anatolia down the ages. The second group includes exhibitions showing the enhancement of technologies such as writing,
medicine and textile. The third group, on the other hand, is composed of exhibitions where certain working spaces (blacksmith,
coppersmith, pharmacy, photography studio and laboratory, radio repair shop etc.) from Ottoman and Republican periods
are reconstructed. In these collections, the replicates of archaeological objects and the originals of Ottoman and Republican
periods objects are put on display.
In this article, general information will be provided with regards to exhibitions showing the development of science and
technology in Anatolia throughout the millennia, and more detail will be given on the Hittite Period Exhibition. Extensive
