The Zeugma Mosaic Museum boasts the Gypsy Girl, one of the most prolific pieces of art in the world. Like Mona Lisa, the Gypsy Girl has a mesmerizing gaze that follows her viewers.
The Gypsy Girl Mosaic depicts a young woman with dark skin and hair, wearing a colorful shawl and holding a tambourine.
Her mosaic is finally complete after its missing pieces were retrieved from the United States decades after they were smuggled abroad.
Zeugma Mosaic Museum, in the city of Gaziantep, Turkey, is the biggest mosaic museum in the world, containing 1700 m2 of mosaics.
