During works for a planned hotel extensive mosaics were found in Antakya. The work was halted and the decision made to build the hotel after the mosaics had been excavated. Also, to put the hotel on columns over it, with plenty of space to turn the lower part into a museum. I visited the site, and was allowed to take pictures in part of the area, another part was waiting formal opening as a Turkish' state-run museum. Some pictures I took through a glass ceiling with the mosaics below, others from several spots where one could get close. A lot of perspective control was required. Earthquakes have undulated some of the floors.
