The museum is located in a building with white marble walls. At the entrance there is a statue of the founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal, on horseback.

The collection of the Ethnographic Museum contains exhibits that characterize the life and culture of the local population: various fabrics, carpets, clothes, faience and textile products, musical instruments, and also much more.

The building in which the museum is located is also quite a valuable exhibit. It is located in the territory of the cemetery. The project for the construction of the museum was created by the famous architect Koyunoglu at that time.

The collection of exhibits for the museum began in 1924 and ended only in 1927. However, the museum opened only in 1930, on July 18.

From 1938 to 1953, the courtyard of the museum was used as a mausoleum for the Turkish reformer Ataturk. Now there is a marble slab on this place.

The building itself – it is a rectangle with a domed roof. The stone walls are covered with sandstone and marble. The entrance is divided into three parts, which are separated by arches and columns. A staircase with 28 steps leads to the entrance.
