Story

Set in the historic center of Kayseri, on the very soil where the legendary master of Ottoman architecture Mimar Sinan was born, this museum has preserved the region's cultural memory across the centuries. This house, in the homeland of Sinan, brings the era's understanding of art and design before your eyes with a rich collection ranging from local handicrafts to architectural details. The museum's exhibits reflect the daily life, world of belief, and aesthetic values of the people who lived in the city in Sinan's time. As a notable detail, the architectural philosophy of Sinan, who lived to 137, can also be seen in the architecture of this house; proportion and functionality are felt in every corner. During your visit, you can sit in the garden and come to know in depth Kayseri's design heritage from the Ottoman period.
