"Exploration en Asie Mineure" (Exploration in Asia Minor) is a significant 19th-century work by the French traveler, photographer, and architect Pierre Trémaux (1818–1895). Published in 1862, the book documents Trémaux's extensive travels and research in the Asia Minor region, which corresponds to the majority of modern-day Turkey. The work is notable for its detailed observations of the geography, archaeology, ethnography, and natural history of the area during a time when such comprehensive studies were relatively rare.

Trémaux's journey, which took place between 1843 and 1844, was one of the early examples of an expedition that combined exploration with scientific research. His work provided valuable insights into the ancient civilizations that once thrived in Asia Minor, including the Hittites, Phrygians, and Lydians, among others. Trémaux's observations were meticulously recorded and included descriptions of ruins, inscriptions, and the customs and lifestyles of the contemporary inhabitants of the region.

The publication of "Exploration en Asie Mineure" contributed to the field of Oriental studies and archaeology at a time when Western interest in the ancient Near East was growing. Trémaux's findings were particularly influential in the study of the Hittite civilization, as he was among the first to recognize the importance of the then-undeciphered hieroglyphic inscriptions found in the area.

In addition to its scholarly value, "Exploration en Asie Mineure" is also recognized for its pioneering use of photography. Trémaux is considered one of the early adopters of photography in archaeological documentation, and his work includes some of the first photographs of the region's archaeological sites, providing a visual record that complemented his written accounts.

The book is divided into several volumes, reflecting the breadth of Trémaux's research and the diversity of topics covered. It remains a valuable resource for historians and archaeologists studying the ancient cultures of Asia Minor and the development of exploration and documentation techniques in the 19th century.
