Very tiny but interesting museum of artifacts drivers brought up from Shipwrecks as far back as the Roman Empire..

Museum of Underwater Archeology
Hundreds of artifacts gathered at first by Bodrum’s sponge-divers, and later by archeologists, are on display, including tools and goods from shipwrecks spread over 32 centuries—from the 16th century BC to the 16th century AD.
