Some of the treasures of Lycia from excavations in Perge, Xanthos, Letoon etc. are held in Antalya's Museum of Archaeology, while many more are held in other museums around the world after being looted or unofficially excavated in the years before the Turkish state cared about such things. Some have been returned from museums in the US and Germany but many more remain overseas.
