Experts' Choice Award Ethnography Museum
What the experts agree on
Housed in a stunning restored mansion that once served as a hospital, this folk art museum captures Turkish daily life and traditions through an engaging, unpretentious collection that pairs perfectly with the nearby Archaeology Museum.
“This beautiful old mansion, formerly a hospital, was recovered from the Izmir Department of Public Health and put to much better use as a repository of Turkish folklore.”
– Frommer's
