Extensive museum over three floors. The lower floor is from the Paleolithic to the Roman era, and the intermediate floor exhibits trade in Ottoman Uşak. The top floor is the standout, describing the Lydians, the local pre-Roman kingdom. The Lydian or Karun treasure is the stuff of movies: in 1966, tomb robbers found the burial chamber of a Lydian princess. They smuggled the goods abroad and some found their way to New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art; the treasures were repatriated in 1993 after a long legal battle. Sceptics doubted that Uşak was a suitable place for their return, and in 2007 it was discovered that some exhibits had been replaced by fakes: the museum director was jailed.
Merchant's house used as Turkish military headquarters in 1920-22 when the battlefront with Greece was nearby, and where Atatürk received the surrender of General Nikolaos Trikoupis. You'll be lucky to find it open.
