Isparta Museum is a museum in Isparta, Turkey. It is on Millet street in Isparta at 37°46′15″N 30°33′30″E.

The museum was opened on 6 March 1985. Following a restoration it was reopened in 2003. But an (undated) picture in Gooogle Maps (viewed in 2023), as well as Google view itself show the place in ruins. A statement that it would be restored in three years is four years old in 2023. It must be doubted if there is anything yet. Don't be fooled by other sources one can find, that all seem to describe the old situation. And please update this text if the museum is back.[1]
