In the Mediterranean climate of the Aegean basin, gardens and courtyards have always played an important role in traditional architecture. Because of this, a garden was designed to give visitors a place to rest and refresh themselves especially during the hot summer months. In the right handside of the garden located behind the museum, items such as sarcophagi, inscriptions and altars are worth seeing. The sarcophagus dated from the A.D. 2nd century is decarated with Muses. According to the inscription on the lid it was used in the Byzantine period again. And in the west of the garden grave stelae, votive offering stnones are exhibited.

The sundial in the center of the garden is the ancient version of the clock tower that decorates the plazas of modern cities. It was discovered in the Tetragonos (Commercial) Agora in Ephesus.
