The results of these French excavations have never been presented to the academic world, nor has a complete set of all the drawings made by the expedition's architect Clerget ever been published. These drawing are today stored in the "Bibliothéque des Ecoles des Beaux-Arts" in Paris. Indeed, from this work we have only a few drawings published by Clarac. Later Raoul Rochette, by making use of these drawings, made corrections to Leake's plan and so added some new observations. In 1872-1873 O. Rayet and A. Thomas conducted research in western Asia Minor, which resulted in the publication of the most comprehensive account of Magnesia's history. In 1887 Osman Hamdi Bey, then Director of the Istanbul Archaeological Museums, working from information provided by F. Winter and W. Judeich, carried the rest of these frieze blocks measured approximately 20 metres in length, to Istanbul from the Artemision.
                 In the autumn of 1890 the German Archaeological Institute in Athens sent O. Kern to Magnesia to carry out small-scale excavations together with F.F.H. von Gaertringen. On December 1st, 1890 work started on excavating the rear of the Artemision, and in the following year Berlin Museum decided to sponsor the start of full-time excavations at the site. Even before this von Gaertringen had carried out the excavation of the theatre during the winter of 1890. This work was completed by July 1891. Meanwhile, C. Humann started excavations on behalf of Berlin Museum on March 1st, 1891. This work, in which O. Kern and R. Heyne participated, continued until the end of July, 1893. Thereafter there were two seasonal interruptions to the digging. Between July and September work ceased on account of the heat and lack of water, while from the end of December until the following March digging was halted on account of the winter rains and subsequent flooding of the site. So between 1st December, 1890 and 22 July, 1893, a period of 33 months, a total of 21 months or 630 days were spent excavating.
                 After one or two minor excavation that remained unreflected to the science world, the first of the continuous scientific excavations was held under the chairmanship of Aydın Archaeology Museum in 1984. The Magnesia excavation has been conducted by Ankara University since 1985 with the Council of Ministers Decision no 85/98757 of 01.08.1985, and under the chairmainsip of the Prof. Dr. Orhan Bingöl in the name of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The ancient city of Magnesia was registered as “1. Degree Arhaeologic Protected Area” with Izmir II No Commitee of Protection of Cultural and Natural Heritage Decision no 1694 of 26.12.1990.

                 In order to promote the cultural heritage festivals are being organised particularly for the children of Tekinköy since 1996 by Işık Bingöl. Since 1998 drawing contests are being organised by Işık Bingöl for commemorating Cemal Bingöl, artist and art teacher.
                 Apart from the excavations, the studies also include the arrangements and the tour route on the site, protection measures, repair and restoration practices. The site has got an “Entrance”, a new storage room and a portico in which some architectural elements are taken under protection. Besides, the needs regarding the visitors are met through the information explaining the structures on the site, the toilet including plan and resituation suggestions, and the garden shadowed by eucalyptus trees and a car park. The visit to Magnesia costs a fee since 1989.
