Within the rich historical wealth that comes from Selçuk's position neighboring the ancient city of Ephesus, the Nazmiye and Ayhan Çetin Model Village Museum stands as a treasure that safeguards the way of life and architectural heritage of Anatolian villages. The museum's core mission is to pass on to future generations the daily life of the villages in and around Selçuk before the 20th century, through detailed models and handcrafted products. Visitors encounter a broad collection that begins with the interiors of a traditional home and extends to agricultural tools, ceramic work, the art of weaving, and furniture design. Each model on display gives in-depth insight into the human relationships, architectural taste, social hierarchy, and craft culture of the period. The museum's special value lies in the fact that even the smallest details of social life have been carefully reconstructed; from the roof structure and window design to the embroidery patterns and interior furnishings, everything is authentic. The result of years of research by the founding couple, these works are a striking document of Anatolia's forgotten architecture.
